Re: [squid-users] Squid using a lot of my bandwidth

        oh sorry ... my mistake ... but in my conf is the right
directive "maximum_object_size" ... but if my max obj size is
only 1Mb, why is my squid box doing a big download ... I think
that is the update of the cached objects... but this is very bad
if at sometime squid uses all my internet downlink with this
update. Any other guess ?????
