RE: [squid-users] Slow downloads

Check if squid is trying to cache the download file first.
Squid is set to cache files above and below a certain size. If the max size
is set too high and your download file is smaller than the max, squid will
cache the download before sending it to you. This makes a download take
twice as long. Any file above the max will not be cached but will be sent to
you directly.

We currently have the max file size set to 4mb and our downloads are more
than fast enough.

Hope this helps

David.
