Jarred,
It's not been updated in two years because it still works :-). We use it in our house and it's still going strong.
As it is, it's a Squid proxy, meaning that it will proxy (and cache) any HTTP requests, not just Steam. However, I think that some of the above services use HTTPS to download their content, rather than HTTP meaning that this cache (and others) can't cache the content due to it being a secure connection between your computer and the source.
I'll take a look into and see if any other services download using pure HTTP. If you know/can find out what download site the different games companies use then let me know (running Wireshark whilst updating games is the easy way to find that out)

Hi Gonzo,
I'd love to put together a more comprehensive guide to making this work. I write for PCGamer.com, and last month I went over my 1TB data cap from Comcast. That's likely primarily because I have too many PCs running Steam, and they probably all individually downloaded some large updates. (20GB and 10 PCs can chew through a lot of data!) Besides running this on one desktop, what do I need to do? Looks like I need to set DHCP to point to that desktop as the primary DNS. I'm trying to wrap my head around Docker, squid-in-a-can, and steam-squid all at once, but I'm more of a Windows desktop guy than Windows Server!
Drop me a note if you can:
Thanks!
