If you get a "Zero Sized Reply" error message from Squid then there is either * A networking error preventing reliable Internet connectivity * A broken firewall or the like causing the same symptoms as 'a'. * A broken parent proxy frequently crashing * A broken web site. There is nothing Squid can do to cause this on it's own. The error indicates that as far as Squid can tell the contacted server accepted the request but then closed the connection before sending any reply back to Squid. Regards Henrik
