Am I missing something > in the manuals? Squid is a proxy. Its purpose is to supply a good up to date working copy of each and every page. Things are already stored as long as possible to achieve this. The refresh_pattern can be set to extend storage times for some things. However there are groups of objects which are not storable and objects which change frequently. Playing around with these will more often than not break the pages. To do this type of offline browsing properly you need to use your web browsers "save for offline" settings (or whatever they call it). Alternatively you could try and view these sites in the archive.org wayback machinery available online. Amos
