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

Sukhjit,

You Byte Hit Ratios is too low. I will suggest better to keep eyes on
cachemanager current open requests and c there downloading files...........
that can be the problem. you are not getting too much load on your cahce.
Can you let me know about your

maximum_object_size XXX KB
maximum_object_size_in_memory XXX KB
cache_replacement_policy XXX

Let me know again your cacheing space and memory?
