Re: [SQU] Squid Failure

K,
thats another problem,
there is a tool for squid named purge (I forgot the address);
which will remove not valid objects from your cache.
another way is to remove swap.state file and rerun squid to
rebuild this file.
if your network traffic is higher than 256Kbit reduce your memory to
48 MB.
