        Perhaps the patch file was larger than your maximum object size?

          I've put the object size arround 300mb and i believe the game patch are below 100mb.

            I use pfsense-lusca to do caching for online game update files. Most games (update with port 80) work flawlessly. But other games that use FTP (21) to update have no luck.

              Have you checked squid's access log to see what comes up when the patch is downloaded?

              Once you figure out the URL, you can try to use something like this:

              http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Squid_Package_Tuning#Caching_Windows_Updates

                @ jimp can you tell me what's the meaning offย  this patern

                refresh_pattern guru.avg.com/.*.(bin) 4320 100% 43200 reload-into-ims;

                guru.avg.com means the website domain of the object that we want to cache

                /.*.(bin) honestly i don't understand what is this but i know bin is the folder on linux

                4320 100% 43200 what is this? i don't get it

                reload-into-ims still don't have any idea

                @andylai

                could you give me the example how do you patch your game.. because i'm using lusca also.. but still don't have any luck on caching that..
                and what is the example gamepatch that can be cached on your squid..

                thx all
                thx..

                  See here for the details on the numbers and percentage, reload-into-ims, etc: http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/refresh_pattern/

                  This: /.*.(bin)ย  is a regular expression, it just means match anything under the root directory (/) with an extension of .bin.
