Thanks Mike:

I do use dialup, but will try to reset the cache down from 50Meg to 25 Meg.


I rarely download any files larger than that

| Eli,

| Personally I see little point in configuring a large cache especially so
| if a user is on broadband. There might be some justification for having a
| larger cache, say 50MB if a user is on dial-up but then again I'm not sure
| that even then there is much advantage in this since so many web pages are
| frequently updated. Note also that Internet Explorer even has an option
| to clear the cache when IE is exited - Tools | Internet Options | Advanced
| where under Security there's a setting to empty TIF when the browser is
| closed.
|
| I doubt that you would experience any problems in setting TIF to 25MB or
| even 5MB. I've never had any and would expect your experience to mirror
| mine. Note also that having a small cache has never caused me problems
| when using IE to download files significantly larger than the space
| allocated to the cache.
