Thanks Amos! One more question. When there is no load on Squid after a period of heavy load will Squid memory footprint won't go down? I think it should. Are there some ways other than "memory_pools off" config to make Squid free the earlier malloc'ed memory.

I see that Squid physical memory usage i.e. RSS as reported by the "top" command always increases. Even if I close the script which is downloading the files in a loop the Squid memory usage doesn't come down. > > I have tried both memory_pools on and off settings.
