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

        and if I set my reply_body_max_size to 1Mb,
then my users can't download any over 1Mb ??? Remember
that I'm in a transparent box with ipchains redirecting
my http traffic to the squid port.
        I want that the box only passes it directly to
the user, without downloading first to itself, and leaves
to user, without write the object to disk.
        I think that in this way, my box is downloading
the big object to user, although don't caching it
to disk. Is this right???
