Hi Helmut Hullen, Thanks for this tip - I know you have mentioned it before, but what I am trying to avoid is on an on going basis (every week) when there is an update, having all 12 computers download the same file. This is a great tool if you are always doing fresh installs - that's fine - but it doesn't help me day to day. The other thing is that it doesn't look like the tool is updated as frequently as windows updates come out - in other words, it doesn't appear to incrementally update itself. Am I correct in assuming this? This is why I'd really prefer to have the proxy work properly - just set it up and forget it. That's the dream. -- View this message in context: http://squid-web-proxy-cache.1019090.n4.nabble.com/Any-Way-To-Check-If-Windows-Updates-Are-Cached-tp4661935p4661974.html Sent from the Squid - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
