Re: [squid-users] windowsupdate: caching the downloads?!?

Yes it is possible.

Set the maximum object size in squid to +12Meg and proceed as normal;
squid will cache all the .cab files *basically the whole setup*
(It should be noted that in one update there can be many .cab files -- all
seperate).
