I enabled this on a Mac Mini which I use as a server with attached storage.
It's shows that it's "working" and my iMac finds it "healthy" however none of the large updates we've installed recently seem to be cached... I updated our family's 4 iPhones to iOS 17. Each of the iPhones is a different model.
I am thinking I haven't set it up properly but not sure. I presumed that no matter what device we use to initiate a download in the house (iPhones, AppleTV, iMac, MacBook Air, Mac Mini) they would all keep their downloaded software in the Content Cache on the Mac Mini.
