Its size shouldīe about 300 megabytes, depending on our needs. To create a separate partition for its cache, called /cache/. To get maximum performance from our Squid proxy, it's best Need to uninstall it and do it once again with delay pools enabled in the So if you have Squid already installed, I must disappoint you - you Installing Squid with the delay pools featureĪs I mentioned before, Squid has a feature called delay pools, whichĪllows us to control download bandwidth. Later on, we will deal with limiting bandwidth for Napster,ģ.1. Of course, the Internet is not only used for downloading files via web LAN users download files at the same time, they will be downloadedĪt about 5 kbytes/s altogether, leaving remaining bandwidth for web pages, Specified speed (in our example, it will be about 5 kbytes/s). With that, we can tell the Squid to download these kinds of files at a For example, a magic word could be '.mp3', '.exe' or '.avi', etc.Īny distinct part of a URL (such as. Reasonable way, depending on so-called 'magic words', existing in any given Thanks to delay pools, it is possible to limit internet traffic in a Requesting the same web page, it isn't downloaded from the internet,Īpart from normal caching, Squid has a special feature called delay Web pages, pictures, and other objects in memory or on a disk. The first is a main characteristic of proxy servers - they keep downloaded It can help us save bandwidth in two ways: Squid is probably the most advanced HTTP proxy server available for Linux. CBQ is stupid why can't I download something at full speed when the Squid's logs grow and grow very fast, what can I do about it? 5.13. My downloads break at 23:59 with "acl day time 09:00-23:59" in nf. When the network is used only by me? 5.11. Delay pools are stupid why can't I download something at full speed CBQ sometimes doesn't work for no reason. Whenever I start cbq.init, it says sch_cbq is missing. Can I limit my own FTP or Is it possible to limit bandwidth on a per-user basis with cbq.init script? 5.8. My outgoing mail server is eating up all my bandwidth. I don't like when Kazaa or Audiogalaxy is filling up all my upload bandwidth. I set up my own SOCKS server listening on port 1080, and now I'm not able to connect toĪny irc server.
