Look at the log files. They may have grown big in which case you need to stop squid services delete them and squid will regenerate them once services r started.

I am guessing that the reason for this is the many files that squid has to read and write to coupled with NTFS performace issues. I'm just wondering if there are certain settings in the squid.conf file that I could tweak to enhance its performance. I do not want to switch to a Linux box yet because of some other reasons that I do not need to list here. My LAN has about 20-25 active internet users and my link is 1mbps symmetric. Anyone with some tips that could help?

Should I get worried since am on their corporate package connected on the 'old' fiber network not the new one where they offer the TV and broadband on. So far for the last 8 months the service has been great no major interruption. I hope it stays that way.

by Dennis Kioko 29 Jan '11

After Egypt returned a 404 on the net, it appears BoA customers cannot transact using their cards as the platform is hosted on Egypt. Another aspect to consider when thinking about "cloud computing" -- with Regards: The Chinese are known to be entrepreneurs, and coupled with some imagination, are now playing the role of nature in food and beverage production. http://gramware.blogspot.com/2011/01/chinese-way-to-become-imaginative.html
