The content of /var/cache/pakfire should be:

[root(a)rice-oxley pakfire]# pwd
/var/cache/pakfire
[root(a)rice-oxley pakfire]# ll
total 68
drwxr-xr-x.  19 root root  4096 Dec  8  2011 ccache
drwxr-xr-x  259 root root  4096 Feb 12 19:43 downloads

drwxr-xr-x.   3 root root 49152 Feb 24 11:45 sources

The download directory contains the following:

[root(a)rice-oxley pakfire]# tree downloads/ | head
downloads/
├── 00

There is absolutely no code that cleans up the download directory on the
builders.
