The only supported way is to change the flush-content-cache-on-success property to true. You'll need to edit /var/pkg/cfg_cache by hand to set this at the moment. Then just add a package, and it should churn away and remove all of /var/pkg/download. Note that this will probably take some time, as you'll have a lot of files there still in the old cache format, which is extremely inefficient to crawl through. So be prepared. You can simulate that by simply removing /var/pkg/download. Note that if any snapshots still hold onto this, you're not actually going to reduce disk usage until those snapshots have been destroyed. /var/pkg/download really needs to be its own dataset, outside the BE, but that's not officially supported. Still, several folks I know, including myself, run that way, and it usually works, modulo a couple of hiccups over time. Also, none of the old manifests are ever removed by the system. I think there's an RFE to have some sort of garbage collection subcommand, but it's not implemented. You pretty much just have to know what to get rid of.
