      i am trying to accomplish a simple task of utilizing squids bandwidth throttling.

      the two options avaiable, Overall bandwidth throttling & Per-host throttling

      Now obviously as it says on the config page that these values have to be in KB (KiloBytes)

      to begin with i'd like a yes or no answer from someone who understands this more. does this feature account like a download accelerator but for squid?

      second, whats the best option to use… overall for everyone or per-host? and then for example if a download is started does it keep accelerating per that value? for example if i had set the perhost to 128KB and a user is downloading a 20MB file, does it only accelerate for 128KB and then leave the rest alone?

        These options set the limit on the bandwidth

            Overall bandwidth throttling - restrict squid common bandwidth
            Per-host throttling - restrict squid per-user bandwidth (user can not exceed the specified value)

            This is not accelerating, it is the limit. "This value specifies (in kilobytes per second) " - means how many kilobytes per second the user can receive
