My about:cache page is reading

Number of entries: 0 Maximum storage size: 204800 KiB Storage in use: 327666 KiB

Under the disk cache device.

I have reset it and cleared it multiple times, but it keeps doing this again each time.

It seems the cause of this was cleaning my Windows temp folder while I was downloading files with Firefox. Not sure why, but the temporary files are linked to the cache in some way.

Seems to happen when I download large (>300mb) files. Even with 3.6.10.
