Re: ghost bandwidth [squid-1.2beta22]

Is this not due to squid fetching the data for aborted connections?

Ie. A user requests an object, then before squid has all of the object,
the user no-longer wants the object (probably pressed "stop" or "back"),
but squid gets it anyway, in case they might request it again.

Oh, God is playing marbles,

Creating havoc through my life,              St Andrews,
With his influence on Mars ...               Fife,
