    Hi.

    Caching.freeSpace returns enormous amount of bytes on Unity 5.3.0 (around 9 petabytes, yep!) on both iOS and Android.

    Also, are there any best practices for detecting if it's possible to save assetbundle? Since there might be some difficulties with checking it manually (for example, Android might clean some cache, also there might be SD-card available..)? Or maby Unity already provides an easy way to do that?

    Right now WWW.LoadFromCacheOrDownload just writes this in catlog on Android:

    12-29 15:27:02.473: E/Unity(4277): Failed to write compressed chunk to the archive '/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.suchacompany.coolgame/files/UnityCache/Temp/89522f4b0cedf42b1a30b844a258292d/__data'!

    You managed to send Unity a direct bug report?

    Kind of late, but this is turned out to be by design.
