It's definitely the right folder. To double-check, I used the command "go to folder," which allows me to type/paste in a folder location. I pasted in exactly what I have in the personal.ini file, and the window I expected opened right up.

And what I'm using is:

/Users/XXX/Library/Caches/Google/Chrome/Default/Cache/

Then I cleared the cache, and the folder emptied except for the index. So, it's gotta be right.

Then I visited a few pages, and several hundred files appeared. All named something like: 0a9dc2241a0a4556_0

Nothing has "data" in the name, if that matters.

So the disc isn't full (which I knew) and Chrome can definitely write there.

Then I clicked through a FFN story. Once again, I got the error:

Browser Cache Failed to Load with error 'Supposed cache entry file did not end with EOF header with correct magic number: '/Users/XXX/Library/Caches/Google/Chrome/Default/Cache/bb7e6cae8e957066_0''

Is it possible that chrome is writing the files incorrectly?? I mean, it sounds like files are being found, but are not formatted in the expected manner?

I opened that file, and it wasn't a FFN cache file. It was something entirely different. I cleared cache again, clicked through the chapters on a story, then tried for a few minutes to find a FFN story cache file, but no luck. Too many files and the largest seemed to reference google ads (likely those served on FFN pages).

I suppose I'll need to try Firefox - if Chrome is doing something wrong or just unexpected, I doubt there is anything I can do to make this work. But I wanted to get this out there in case someone else hits the same problem - I've not see anyone mention this particular error thus far.

Even if I do get Firefox working, I would like to know what's going on here with Chrome. It seems like all of my settings may actually be correct, but perhaps there's something else interfering. But what?
