Hi NoOp,
checked above and there is nowhere 64meg mentioned, Am running
Firefox 3.6.13 on Ubuntu 10.04.
Have solved my problem though, have installed Download Helper,

http://www.downloadhelper.net/

seems to be working OK, but would still be nice to know just where the 
larger files are being cached for interest.
Have read that future Firefox will further reduce cache size to 8 meg, 
but could be only a
rumor.
Many thanks for your help.
Take care
