      Hi all,

      I find this problem very weird. I cannot download any large files. I tried different sites. I have to come home and resume to complete it.

      I am using the stable pfsense with transparent squid. It was working fine all the time. Smaller files are not a problem but any large files above 50 is a big problem.

      Any ideas why this must be happening?

        Do you have the "Maximum download size" option set under Proxy Server > Traffic Management?

          No it is set to 0, I have also uninstalled Squid and reinstalled it. Also uninstalled snort (Now I cannot get it up because it will time out after 35 mb)

          I tried a different site like filehippo and I was able to download a large file around 75 mb. I realize that it is timing out while downloading snort update.

          Somewhere I read that snort gives you 15 min to download or else it will time out. Can I increase this value so that my snort update don't timeout.

          Thanks
