+
+<para>This module allows you to control the size of the local cache
+folder used by &konqueror;. Note that each user account on your
+computer has a separate cache folder, and this folder is not
+shared with other web browsers such as &Netscape;.</para>
+
+<para>Storing local copies of web pages that you have visited allows
+&konqueror; to quickly load their contents on subsequent visits. It
+will only be necessary to reload the contents from the original site
+if they have changed since your last visit, or if you click the reload
+button in &konqueror;.</para>
+
+<para>If you really don't want any of the web pages you visit to be
+stored on your computer, you can disable &konqueror;'s disk cache by
+clearing the checkbox labeled <guilabel>Use cache</guilabel>.</para>
+
+<para>You can set here how aggressively &konqueror; keeps the cache up
+to date. <guilabel>Keep cache in sync</guilabel> means that &konqueror;
+will hit the cache for all objects, downloading them if they are not
+there, and then display the item from the cache. <guilabel>Use cache
+whenever possible</guilabel> means that &konqueror; will try the cache,
+and if an object is not there, it will directly download it for display.
+<guilabel>Offline browsing mode</guilabel> means that &konqueror; will
+try the cache, and if an object is not there, it will not attempt to
+download it from the Internet.</para>
+
+<para>You can control the size of the cache by typing a number into the
+text box labeled <guilabel>Disk cache size</guilabel>. This is the
+average amount of space in kilobytes that the cache folder is allowed
+to use. When the cache grows too large, &konqueror; will delete older
+files to reduce the size of the cache folder.</para>
+
+<para>This is however, only an average, and during a browsing session
+the cache could become substantially larger.</para>
+
+<para>You can use the <guibutton>Clear Cache</guibutton> button to empty
+the cache at any time.</para>
