If packages are not downloading to the cache as expected, check the CAS.log file to verify the valid DPs have been identified.

CAS.log entries like "The number of discovered DPs(including Branch DP and Multicast) is 0"
and
ContentTransferManager.log entries like "Received empty location update for CTM job..."

These messages may indicate that the client is operating in a network location where no boundary group has been assigned!
