This is a bug on GLib:

I'm looking for a workaround in the meantime.

  • Keywords patch added

A simple way to test this patch: create a file with an old timestamp

touch -mt 1209301830 $HOME/.sugar/default/org.laptop.WebActivity/instance/.goutputstream-test

Replying to humitos:

This is a bug on GLib:

I added a new comment on this issue because I found that using WebKit.Download and WebKit.NetworkRequest no .goutputstream files are left.

  • Keywords olpc-test-passed added; olpc-test-pending removed

The temporary download file is removed in Browse-148/OLPC 13.1.0 os20.

As the patch notes this purge is done when Browse starts up a day later or after a system restart.

Of note is while the temporary file is removed, the download progress Journal entry is not if the user had not previously manually tried to erase it. It still can be manually erased though.
