Orginally I was cleaning ccache since my emerge runs under root and root's home directory is on a small partition. Taking your input I've decided to just set ccache size and not use my script to clean it.
Cleaning all distfiles was a decision I made on having high speed downloads. Considering your problem of slow downloads, I have changed the script to remove files that have been on the system after 30 number of days. Adjust the number of days based on your needs.

why do you clean ccache, doesn't that defeat the purpose of ccache?

why do you clean out distfiles? what if a new r version of a package comes out that uses the same source files? some of us don't have unlimited bandwidth or big pipes.
