I don't. And I have all the windows PC's here going through my own squid caching proxy.

The theory is that the SkyX gateways prefetch the entire page. The proxy would only provide commonly accessed data to the SkyX gateways. The FAP counter probably lies between the SkyX gateways and the proxy making it count everything on the page even if it is cached in the proxy.

I had thought that they were watching for prefetching just browser traffic and a proxy system seemed a natural place to prefetch traffic.

It seems to me that can't be prefetching one's email (I mean POP or IMAP accounts, not browser based access.) I do expect FAP to count email traffic though.

They probably do not prefetch secure http which explains why it is so slow on WB.

I was looking at the proxy configuration and https does not go through the proxy either, as I should have expected since the proxy is useless for https stuff since no 2 customers will have the same content once it is encrypted.
