Great job solomon. Many of us have been trying to
achieve similar with
youtube and google vids. this will help a great
deal. how big of a
cachedir do you keep for youtube vids. should be
quite a big to be able to
cache the vids in large enough quantity to get a
decent hit. I'm gonna try
to achieve what you've describe here for my next
project.
Thanks for the job well done.

Currently, my cache size is 70 GB. I have just filled
almost 25 GB. I will upgrade to either 200 or 500 GB
when I deploy.
I really appreciate your initiative and great work regarding caching
youtube objects. Everybody will benefit from your work.
Are you intending to run a single cache of 500 GB in size or a couple of
proxy caches amounting to 500 GB in size?
It's because running a 500 GB cache in a single machine is going to
cause you problems along the way. Such a large cache will also be a
little more difficult to maintain compared to a 10 or 20 GB cache.
Despite the low cost of hard drives these days, I would prefer to spread
the disk storage over a couple of squid caches instead of a single
cache. They can also be configured for load-balancing later.
If for some reasons, your cache gets corrupted, it might take a very
long time to fix it and I am sure that Squid's median response might
will get higher.
Anyway, it's just my suggestion.
Thanking you...
Solomon.
