See my announcement: Subject: New StoreID helper: squid_dedup Date: Mon, 09 May 2016 23:56:45 +0200 My openSUSE environment is fetching _all_ updates with byte-ranges from many servers. Therefor, I created squid_dedup. Your specific config could look like this: /etc/squid/dedup/mozilla.conf: [mozilla] match: http\:\/\/download\.cdn\.mozilla\.net/(.*) replace: http://download.cdn.mozilla.net.%(intdomain)s/\1 fetch: true The fetch parameter is unique among the other StoreID helper (AFAIK): it is fetching the object after a certain delay with a pool of fetcher threads. The idea is: after the first access for an object, wait a bit (global setting, default: 15 secs), and then fetch the whole thing once. It won't solve anything for the first client, but for all subsequent accesses. The fetcher avoids fetching anything more than once by checking the http headers. This is a pretty new project, but be assured, that the basic functions are working fine, and I will do my best to solve any upcoming issues. It is implemented with Python3 and prepared for supporting additional features easily, while keeping a good part of an eye on efficiency. Let me know, if you're going to try it.
