Dear Polipo experts, I have installed polipo 1.0.4.1 (it comes bundled with current versions of Freetz) on my Fritzbox and want to use it as a caching proxy to better use bandwith on my slow line.
I have configured polipo to use a disk cache which is located on a USB drive (2 gigabytes). The Maximum amount of RAM used by Polipo is set to 16 MB. (The Fritzbox has 64 MB of RAM in total.) Everything works well while I'm surfing the web, however I have problems downloading files larger than 16 MB when proxying through Polipo. The download just aborts (I checked using Opera and Firefox) and cannot be continued later - it just restarts from the beginning. (Although I *can* pause and restart downloads from that site when not proxying.) In the polipo log file, I'm seeing messages such as: -------------------------------------- root@fritz:/var/mod/root# tail -f /var/log/polipo Short on chunk memory -- attempting to punch holes in the middle of objects. Short on chunk memory -- attempting to punch holes in the middle of objects. Read from server failed: Cannot allocate memory Short on chunk memory -- attempting to punch holes in the middle of objects.

My configuration is: ----------------------- root@fritz:/var/mod/root# less /mod/etc/polipo.conf daemonise = true proxyPort = 8123 proxyAddress = "0.0.0.0" disableServersList = false disableIndexing = true disableConfiguration = false disableLocalInterface = false diskCacheRoot=/var/media/ftp/FreetzExt/polipo Note: The disk cache is located on a local ext3 partition and actually used by polipo (it's size is >200 MB by now). Perhaps relevant: the site from which I'm downloding uses HTTP authentication. Do you have any ideas what the problem might be?
