The file-hosters limits each user to a certain amount of downloading per day based on the users IP address.
So, cheat them showing a different IP address !
The cookies are small TXT files that websites create for several purposes: for login (Yahoo, Hotmail, Rapidshare...), to collect data about your most visited pages (Ads), or any other data (Your last search at Google).
However, they may harm your privacy.
The File Hosters create cookies that have your login data (encrypted).
However, some hacks or proxies use these cookies and make them not work properly.
That's the reason to delete them.
To delete the cookies go in your user folder, then click cookies, select eveything inside, then type Shift+Delete. This will destroy all the cookies (this will delete directly them, not send them to the recycle bin). Some files may be impossible to delete, this is not important.
You can also delete them from your browser, Clicking “Internet Properties → Delete Cookies” (for Internet Explorer) or “Tools → Clear private data → Cookies → Clear Private Data Now” (for Firefox).
Warning: you will lose any active login.
A very good solution is to download Ccleaner: not only it cleans your cookies but also repair registry (the most important part of Windows) and clean a lot more things (Temporary files, prefetch, cache...)!
Finally, Invisible Browsing will help you not only to delete the cookies but also to surf keeping your privacy secure (you can use proxies, change IP...) !
Cleaning the prefetch folder is a myth, the folder is self cleaning by Windows. Cleaning it will REDUCE performance.

Perfect answer: really, prefetch is useful to Windows; it only reduce performance when it has many unused .pf files; but as you said, windows cleans it and recent application as Ccleaner only delete the old ones (more than 48 hours old).
