Looking to free some space in internal memory of atv2 i tried to delete the content of /private/var/cache/apt/archives via Filezilla but I came across a permission denied error.
Is this normal? Shouldn't I be able to delete those files? Aren't they backups?

That's exactly the link where I found the instructions to free up memory.
Successfully deleted (with root/alpine):
/private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/addons/packages
/private/var/mobile/Library/Caches/AppleTV/Video/LocalAndRental
/private/var/mobile/Library/Caches/AppleTV/Video/Other
But got error on /private/var/cache/apt/archives/
...I'll try again this evening....
Thank you as ususal to find the time to reply to everything!!!
Thank you!!!

After clearing that, it still says on a couple movies watching cache is full. Going to the Video directory there's nothing newly added for cache. Any ideas where else it stores?

That cache is in the RAM, not on the disk. Use advanced settings to change <cachemembuffersize> to 0.

More often than not, the real problem is the server on the other side of the internet, and there's nothing that you can do on the ATV2/XBMC side.
