Hi Lasse
It could be related to the problem I'm having, depending on how your proxy
it set up. I'm trying to build a box to manage the Quarantine network in
our environment and the Windows Update site hangs/fails for me as well. The
problem in my case is that Squid is a transparent proxy, and when you click
on either the "Custom" or "Express" options, it briefly requires an SSL
connection to download.windowsupdate.com - since Squid doesn't seem to have
a way to do that in transparent mode, it fails.
If I set IE to use Squid as a proxy directly, it'll work. Have you tried
setting the proxy settings directly in IE yet?

Is there anyway to get around this issue?
It just stalls now where it looks for latest updates.
Maybe without caching the windows update files?
I am getting kinda desperate!
Hmm.. Dosn't seem to help :(
It still lacks and run terrible slow.

Hey all
squid 2.5.9-10 running debian.
Does anyone knows what to do, when windows update hangs ?
Sometime it just stalls, but now and then it works, although it is got
damn slow :(
Including that, it prompts for user and passwords just before it checks
for updates, I belive it is?
Any solution to this? The best thing would be if it was possible to
cache
the updates, but it worst case I might have to remove the windows
update
site, from the proxy list.
Thanks
