Thanks for reply Toro,

I think the fisrt thing i might do is understanding normal and reverse 
proxy:)




Normal proxy sits in front of a relatively small group of users and 
fetches all their web requests from the whole Internet.


Reverse proxy sits in front of a website or group of sites and servers 
every visitor.


One Squid can be both at the same time.

1. You need to set up Squid in transparent mode
2. The bandwith saving, I think is only for normal proxy no for reverse
proxy
3. If you can read it, you can copy it.

 Hi,

 I am new to squid and i am here for just one reason. I have been looking
 for caching mp3s stored on my server to save bandwith and also block
 downloading them. I found out that squid does both of these best. I have
 installed 3.1.0.15 version but now i really dont know what to do. There are
 many examples on web but some gave errors so i decided to listen to squid
 community.

 Can you please give me some documentation or examples about

 1. How will i let squid to work without changing browsers proxy settings? I
 mean it will be availabla for all visitors.
 2. How will i cache mp3s to save bandwith?
 3. This is not important but it would be great if users just can listen
 them but cant download?

 Please tell me that these can be done.

 Thank you all.

 Onur

Did you read the following:

http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/ReverseProxy
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples#Reverse_Proxy_.28Acceleration.29

These will give a very good idea on what this involves, and will answer your #1.

For #2, if your Squid is hosted nearer to your users, then it might
save you bandwidth.  But, if Squid is hosted just beside your HTTP
server (as is usually the case), then it will not save bandwidth for
you.  What it will do is, it will help save resources on your HTTP
server (mostly if HTTP server is on a separate machine), so that you
can server more users.  Squid is more efficient at file delivery than
an HTTP server.

For #3, this is not the premise of Squid (AFAIK).

HASSAN
