RE: [squid-users] Streaming is killing Squid cache

Better yet, implement a wsus server, let it bypass caching and gpo your users to update from that. That way you can get away from having ms updates dictate caching options that result in problems with streaming.

We've actually seen Microsoft updates as big as 800 MB.

Of course, this is a good argument for turning this setting into something that's controlled by an ACL, so one could say, "Cache everything from Microsoft, but not from these streaming providers."
