Squid / Squid3 issues and streaming

[avp]

About 1 month ago I decided to have a go at Squid, squidguard, and HAVP.  I installed all these and had everything working flawlessly (or so I thought). The only issue I later found was that some streaming sites became very slow or slow to start.  YouTube videos now take a while to start.  I radio station I listen to doesn't start playing for 13min, and is 13min delayed once it starts.  If I set my IP to not be proxy-ed in squid, everything works perfectly, so I know it is squid (or squidguard or havp).  I did some reading, but couldn't find any simple fix.  One thing I read was that one guy tried squid3 and everything then worked.  So I figured I'd try squid3.  Tried the install, it failed, and it took down my system.  I had to restore to factory defaults to get back in.  Then restore an old backed up config (pre squid).  So now I have a fairly clean system, and I figured I'd try squid 3 again (without squid 2 already installed).  Unfortunately, the install still fails, error:

Checking for package installation…
Downloading http://files.pfsense.org/packages/8/All/squid-3.1.14.tbz ...  could not download from there or http://ftp2.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.1-release/All/squid-3.1.14.tbz.
of squid-3.1.14 failed!

Installation aborted.Backing up libraries...

So, does anyone know how to fix the streaming issues with squid2?  Or how can I install/try Squid 3?

I'm running the July 11 nightly, btw, on i386.

Thanks.

Hi,

squid3 isn't really stable at the moment. There ar missing dependencies and so on. To have a stable system you'll have to use squid2.

I am using squid, too but without problems in youtube or other streamings. Did you enter any custom options like caching windows updates and so on ?

In PROXY SERVER - CACHE MGMNT
you can enter all the domains you do not wish that they are cached e.g.
youtube.com
radio.com

Than these domains will not be cached but everything else. But I think there is something else in your config which causes this problem.

Thats not true!

You have to exclude the domains in havp, squid is NOT the culprit.

You are right - I missed that avp is using HAVP.
I don't know how to configure that in HAVP.

I will re-install Squid and SquidGuard and see if my problem still exists.  Then I will add HAVP.  I will let you know what I find out.

Thanks

You guys were right.  I reinstalled everything, Squid, SquidGuard.  All was fine.  Added HAVP, YouTube got slow.

Added:

ytimg.com/
youtube.com/
googlevideo.com/

to the HAVP whitelist and all appears to be well now.

Thanks.
