Re: [squid-users] windowsupdate hanging

I think it is an issue with files larger than or close to your cache
size. When this happens Squid will have a very hard time to maintain the
cache size as the active objects then is larger that the allowed cache
size. It is supposed to deal with this, but this case is not very common
and thus not as well tested.
