Hi,
I’ve just setup a box running opensuse 13.1 & squid 3.3… I’ve got the Max_oject_size set to 9 GB so that it would capture dual-layer DVD images and other large files…
The total size of the cache is 50GB, however when I download a 600MB debian image from my ISP’s mirror (http or ftp) its not keeping a copy of it.
Is there anything else that I should change?
just tried clearing and rebuilding the cache & then downloaded a 10MB file which it didn’t cache either… Any ideas?
You might want to check the refresh_pattern option and make one for .iso files with ignore-no-cache as a directive, maybe the web servers are telling squid not to cache the content or it thinks the .iso has changed.
squid : refresh_pattern configuration directive
Google with the keywords squid refresh_pattern ignore-no-cache for a few examples, better than I can explain here 
Ok thanks… I’ve added the below (which I found on another forum), so I’ll give it a test and let you know how it goes.
refresh_pattern -i \.(iso|avi|wav|mp3|mp4|mpeg|swf|flv|x-flv|mpg|wma|ogg|wmv|asx|asf)$ 260000 90% 260009 override-expire ignore-no-cache ignore-no-store
refresh_pattern -i \.(deb|rpm|exe|zip|tar|tgz|ram|rar|bin|ppt|doc|tiff|pdf|uxx)$ 260000 90% 260009 override-expire ignore-no-cache ignore-no-store
No, still no go… Are those refresh rules correct?
When i’m downloading, its showing the file in transit… so I know that its going through the proxy… I’ve also noticed that some of the other files have “cachable” in those tags at the top where this doesnt.
