OK, I know the usual places to check for cleaning up files as suggested on the wiki and have perused the forums. But my ATV2 is still maxing out. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

So besides cleaning up cached files, can anyone comment or lead me toward a resource for the following:

1. Downloading movies onto a share
2. Downloading movies onto a share within Navi-X
3. Keeping as many thumbnails and fanart off my ATV and on my remote share as possible.
4. Beyond "Clean Library..." are there any methods to keeping the database as clean as possible? Command line utilities?
5. Add-on clean up. Is there a reference for all the locations that zipped repositories may be that I can deleted and archive remotely?
6. General Best practices relating to storage and XBMC
7. Cleaning Cache
8. Anything else?

As I find things myself, I will add them here to compile a complete list.

SOLUTIONS
---------------------------------------------

Removing temp files:
---------------------------------------------
From the wiki: First places to check are:
/private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/addons/packages
/private/var/mobile/Library/Caches/AppleTV/Video/LocalAndRental
/private/var/mobile/Library/Caches/AppleTV/Video/Other
/private/var/cache/apt/archives/


Movie files to the larger partition
---------------------------------------------
Moving items to private/var on the other partition. [Untested] (Not sure if this is still viable in newer builds?)
ssh root@apple-tv
mkdir -p /private/var/Applications
cd /Applications
mv * /private/var/Applications
cd /
rmdir /Applications (This won't delete unless the directory is empty...)
ln -s /private/var/Applications /Applications
cd
apt-get update
apt-get install org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2

Cleaning up the database

Navi-x

1. If you want to keep the cached image, You can run a batch compression on them. I reduced the size of the folder by 2/3 with ni image quality loss using Adobe Fireworks
/private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/addons/Navi-X/cache/images
2. Obvious but be sure to offload downloads saved to /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/addons/Navi-X/My Downloads
