[OPLINTECH] Network Slowness?

[Bob Neeper]

General local cache may help with various updates.
Chad (Level9 Network) configured our IPcop Firewall with Update Accelerator.

It caches updates for MS, Linux, Adobe, Apple, Symantec, Avast, Trend Micro, 
etc. locally.
Currently has 5.1GB
Usually close to 50GB but I was bored last week and purged it down to what was 
used in last 3 months.
We probably won't miss any windows 95, 98, etc. updates.

Takes a large load off the external network.
