Re: [squid-users] Please! Please! Someone Answer, Squid is killing Me

Hello Mac, :)

While this is happing, don't you want to do a NETSTAT and tcpdump -n to
confirm that it is squid causing the problem. Also do a tail -f
/var/log/squid/access.log (if this is where your log is) and check what the
guys are requesting. Correct me if I am wrong here but if the client is
slower than the proxy, the proxy will download at fullspeed and release to
the client at full speed ? Maybe they are requesting "RedHat 7.2 disc1.iso"
and it just hogs the bandwidth.....

Hope this helps !

Cheers,

Pieter
