cache http downloads

Does the mt cache server cache downloads? It does not seem to as everytime i download the same file from the internet it uses internet bandwidth, and apparently doesnt just transfer from the mt server? is there a way to enable this?

check the web proxy status if it is running, and check if you are enabling a limitation queue if so the download will not exceed the limitation, and check if the you specifying a source address defferent than the one you are using.

also check webproxy configuration for these values:

max-object-size: 4096 KiB
max-cache-size: 1048576 KiB

and if the values are large enough to hold your download file, check if your router’s harddrive has enough space for it.

thanks to u normis
i was suffering the same problem and now when i read ur post ,i changed
the max object size to 100 MB and made some tests and it worked so great.And this what i wanted from a long time.
i thought that MT dont cache Data files.
My test was to download a file and then download it again ,and the results was amazing.
thanks again a lot

wow, works perfectly thanks alot!

how did you type in 100 MB in the “MAXIMUM OBJECT SIZE” box? it wants the value in KiB

100096 ?
or
819200

u have to know that 8kbps=1KB so 80kbps=10KB.
KB=kilobytes and kb=kilobits
Kilobytes is for storage and kilobits is for speed.
KIB in Mikrotik is about KB they use it ,and it is an old abbreviation that nobody use today.i dont know why they still use the mikroik guys.
At the end i am using now 500MB (MB=megabyte) that is
500x1024=512000KB
kbps is decimal and KB is binary.This means that from MB to KB we multiply by multiples of 2 (power of 2) ,and from mbps to kbps we multiply by 10 (power of 10)
I hope this helps u.

so in other words the number i need to put in is in KB.

100megs = 102400 KiloBytes (KB)
and
500 megs= 512000

yes
