RE: [squid-users] Squid downloads slow

Hi,
 
I also have this problem with Squid at home (running the latest stable)
using the config based on the Securing and Optimizing Redhat pdf file I
found on linuxdoc... the machine is a P166MMX with 64mb RAM serving myself
and my 2 housemates, using a cable modem - here's my config:
 
http_port 8080
httpd_accel_host virtual
httpd_accel_port 80
httpd_accel_with_proxy on
httpd_accel_uses_host_header on
icp_port 0
acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin \?
no_cache deny QUERY
cache_mem 8 MB
cache_dir ufs /opt/squid/cache 200 16 256
emulate_httpd_log on
redirect_rewrites_host_header off
cache_replacement_policy GDSF
acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0

Subject: [squid-users] Squid downloads slow

I have implemented squid-2.4 stable 1 on a Slackware Linux box with kernel
2.2.18
I setup squid and redirected port 80 through 8080 and it caches webpages
pages fine. The only problem is that anytime anyone tries to download
something from a web server the download will immediately fall to about 200
bytes a second (on a DSL line) and then just stop completely. FTP transfers
work just fine. It seems to be only downloads when downloading from a web
server. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

This information from the squid.conf may be of use?
cache_mem 891289600 bytes
cache_swap_low 90
cache_swap_high 95
maximum_object_size 1327104 bytes
minimum_object_size 0 bytes
maximum_object_size_in_memory 65536 bytes
ipcache_size 100000
ipcache_low 90
ipcache_high 95
