Nima,

1. Actually squid doesn't pass any information to videocache or any other plugin if a download/stream is canceled by the end user due to some reasons. So, videocache can't really help in this case.
2. This is a known problem and I am looking for fixing this in future versions.

Thank you for reporting the problems.

thanks for your attention

1-regarding to first problem,but when I configure squid without cachevideos, after closing related winodow to that video, squid stop downloading.

2-my idea is, because youtube and other video sharing sites do not support good resuming, It is better, cachevideo before retrieve that video from cache, check size that video against original size on youtube site, if size be the same then retrive from cache else remove that video from cache and again download from original site

i hope that your program be better than before :)

Nima,

1. Squid can sense it because it has full control over the socket to the client but it doesn't care about sending the same information to the client :(
2. I got your idea and looking for ways to raise an exception whenever networks goes down or there is some download problem.

Thank for your interest :)
