You can try with the following ACL > > acl aclname time [day-abbrevs] [h1:m1-h2:m2] > Well, this allows only the access after hours. It does not schedule the download for that time. When users try to download earlier, Squid will prohibit that. You can schedule downloading files using the at command. And then use wget for downloading. You can also set the proxy parameters for wget (including authentication). To set the proxy for wget, put the following in your ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile: http_proxy=http://ip.of.proxy:port/ export http_proxy (maybe you also need to define a variable called HTTP_PROXY). Please consult the wget man page how to submit the proxy authentication credentials. Regards, Peter -- Peter Albrecht, Novell Training Services, peter.albrecht@xxxxxxxxxx
