And for a Squid this usually isn't enough file descriptors(except you use it at home). Are you using Debian or some derivative like Ubuntu? If so there should be a configuration file named /etc/default/squid. There you should set the value of SQUID_MAXFD to a higher value. I don't know if there is something comparable for other distros. Otherwise you can set the "ulimit" in Squids startup script like William described it: ulimit -n HIGHER_VALUE Markus
