I followed this discussion: " Re: Re: Cache Streaming Video?" (http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-users/200701/0154.html). Seems that making the maximum_object_size higher has an effect, so I have set it to 50 MB. Calamaris says youtube.com is getting a hit of 40%. But the problem is not just youtube. People do download 100 MB+ files. I want to test whether separating text/* mimetypes from the others and putting the other mimetypes on a separate, bandwidth limited stream would help.
