Update-Booster
Who hasn't heard this before - Microsoft has just released another large update, the virus scan software has to be updated and Adobe and Symantec are also releasing new updates. The UpdateBooster [http://update-accelerator.advproxy.net] has been created especially for this type of scenario. It has been developed for networks with multiple clients. The Update-Booster caches, similar to the Proxy server, updates for the Operating System also for Virus scan software and other programs. The load on the Internet connection is reduced and it also prevents long waiting times when loading updates to multiple clients.

Important
Other as the normal cache, Updater-Booster saves and caches whole files only. Therefore the first access to a file initiates two downloads, one by UpdateBooster, one by the client.

Performance Characteristic
smaller waiting times for updates (full LAN-speed) user defined configuration overview of all the files in cache permanently growing list of supported apps low CPU load (configurable) In the default settings, the Update-Booster has to be activated in the Webproxy page. The Booster itself is pre-configured and normally doesnt need any change. Only when there is little disk space (less than 5GB) available, should the settings have to be changed.
