RE: [squid-users] squid taking too long for fetches

Subsequent tries to the same file got immediate responses. (Made sure it is
not in squid cache). I wanted squid to throw an error if it takes too long
for any fetch due to network traffic or any unknown reasons. I thought
connect_timeout of 2 min would take care of that but it's not..

What are the timeout parameters to be set so that squid doesn't wait for
more than 2 min in any case?

Did it take that long? How long does it take without squid?

There's a lot of tuning that *can* be done to squid. When one user is
simply testing, squid should deliver wire speed results.

There are various tuning guides for squid, I suggest you grab one and
follow it through.
