Re: [squid-users] squid using more bandwidth!!!

[Chijioke Kalu]

do you know of email spiders and email mass mailing programs, there good 
culprits at choping up bandwidth, and if u dont have some sort bandwidth 
manager, it means u could have some users downloading at 10 times  the speed 
for normal http access

So according to Squid you are saving around 10% of the bandwidth.

Maybe you have unauthorized users using the proxy and this is why your
router shows higher bandwidth utilization? Check your access.log for IP
addresses not yours, and verify your access controls (http_access rules,
firewalling of the Squid proxy is also recommended).
