Local cache size and locally stored data
What is the difference between these settings?
If I set "local cache size" to 2GB and "limit storage usage to" (in trading options) to 10 GB, does it work?
Or are they two independent settings?

Inappropriate?In the "local cache", all files you download are stored. When the local cache is full, the oldest files will get removed. You can see that a file is in the local cache if you select it and it has a small green square at the bottom right. Your local backup is stored in the same folder, so if you look at the actual 'local' folder on your hard-disk, there might be more data in it than the specified cache size.
"Limit storage usage" is only relevant if you have enabled trading storage. There, you can specify how much of your unused local storage you want to trade for online storage. This storage will be filled with encrypted fragments of files others store in Wuala. It is completely independent of the local cache.

Inappropriate?I've unchecked the "trade up..." checkbox on one of my computer and I want to reclaim the space used, is it possible? (like the clear button for local cache)
