Not an option, at least for me. I think that is not the way to resolve things. This problem with WU may happen with other things, and the correct way if to fix this, not using other software. -----Original Message----- From: Jason.Fitzpatrick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:Jason.Fitzpatrick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: quarta-feira, 31 de Outubro de 2007 10:29 To: squid3@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; reinhard.haller@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: squid3 WindowsUpdate failed Hi all.. I know that this is not the answer that you are looking for, but why not just install a WSUS server internally? Then point all your clients to it via AD policy. (me being a lazy bugger here!)

Lucky you, looks like you have a good up-to-date user base then :). Mine have trouble in WinXP SP1 and some earlier versions of the ActiveX WU'er they call MicrosoftUpdate. GenuineAdvantage my a*%#. > > Reinhard > IIRC others earlier found that WU used range requests to speed downloads. I have never confirmed this myself. Anyway, a bug has just been found in 3.0.RC1 that caused certain range requests to close prematurely. http://www.squid-cache.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=2116 A fix has been incorporated in the next daily snapshot. If anyone is having this problem with 3.0.RC1, please give the 31 Oct or later snapshots a try and see if that fixes your problem. If its still present it will need to be reported as a bug with traces, etc. Thank you.
