Add concurrency limits and configuration options for SteamCache

- Introduced maxConcurrentRequests and maxRequestsPerClient fields in the Config struct to manage request limits.
- Updated the SteamCache implementation to utilize these new configuration options for controlling concurrent requests.
- Enhanced the ServeHTTP method to enforce global and per-client rate limiting using semaphores.
- Modified the root command to accept new flags for configuring concurrency limits via command-line arguments.
- Updated tests to reflect changes in the SteamCache initialization and request handling logic.

@@ -10,15 +10,154 @@ SteamCache2 is a blazing fast download cache for Steam, designed to reduce bandw
 - Reduces bandwidth usage
 - Easy to set up and configure aside from dns stuff to trick Steam into using it
 - Supports multiple clients
+- **NEW:** YAML configuration system with automatic config generation
+- **NEW:** Simple Makefile for development workflow
+- Cross-platform builds (Linux, macOS, Windows)
 
-## Usage
+## Quick Start
 
-1. Start the cache server:
-    ```sh
-    ./SteamCache2 --memory 1G --disk 10G --disk-path tmp/disk
-    ```
-2. Configure your DNS:
-    - If your on Windows and don't want a whole network implementation (THIS)[#windows-hosts-file-override]
+### First Time Setup
+
+1. **Clone and build:**
+   ```bash
+   git clone <repository-url>
+   cd SteamCache2
+   make  # This will run tests and build the application
+   ```
+
+2. **Run the application** (it will create a default config):
+   ```bash
+   ./steamcache2
+   # or on Windows:
+   steamcache2.exe
+   ```
+
+   The application will automatically create a `config.yaml` file with default settings and exit, allowing you to customize it.
+
+3. **Edit the configuration** (`config.yaml`):
+   ```yaml
+   listen_address: :80
+   cache:
+       memory:
+           size: 1GB
+           gc_algorithm: lru
+       disk:
+           size: 10GB
+           path: ./disk
+           gc_algorithm: hybrid
+   upstream: "https://steam.cdn.com"  # Set your upstream server
+   ```
+
+4. **Run the application again:**
+   ```bash
+   make run  # or ./steamcache2
+   ```
+
+### Development Workflow
+
+```bash
+# Run all tests and start the application (default target)
+make
+
+# Run only tests
+make test
+
+# Run with debug logging
+make run-debug
+
+# Download dependencies
+make deps
+
+# Show available commands
+make help
+```
+
+### Command Line Flags
+
+While most configuration is done via the YAML file, some runtime options are still available as command-line flags:
+
+```bash
+# Use a custom config file
+./steamcache2 --config /path/to/my-config.yaml
+
+# Set logging level
+./steamcache2 --log-level debug --log-format json
+
+# Set number of worker threads
+./steamcache2 --threads 8
+
+# Show help
+./steamcache2 --help
+```
+
+### Configuration
+
+SteamCache2 uses a YAML configuration file (`config.yaml`) for all settings. Here's a complete configuration example:
+
+```yaml
+# Server configuration
+listen_address: :80
+
+# Cache configuration
+cache:
+  # Memory cache settings
+  memory:
+    # Size of memory cache (e.g., "512MB", "1GB", "0" to disable)
+    size: 1GB
+    # Garbage collection algorithm
+    gc_algorithm: lru
+
+  # Disk cache settings
+  disk:
+    # Size of disk cache (e.g., "10GB", "50GB", "0" to disable)
+    size: 10GB
+    # Path to disk cache directory
+    path: ./disk
+    # Garbage collection algorithm
+    gc_algorithm: hybrid
+
+# Upstream server configuration
+# The upstream server to proxy requests to
+upstream: "https://steam.cdn.com"
+```
+
+#### Garbage Collection Algorithms
+
+SteamCache2 supports different garbage collection algorithms for memory and disk caches, allowing you to optimize performance for each storage tier:
+
+**Available GC Algorithms:**
+
+- **`lru`** (default): Least Recently Used - evicts oldest accessed files
+- **`lfu`**: Least Frequently Used - evicts least accessed files (good for popular content)
+- **`fifo`**: First In, First Out - evicts oldest created files (predictable)
+- **`largest`**: Size-based - evicts largest files first (maximizes file count)
+- **`smallest`**: Size-based - evicts smallest files first (maximizes cache hit rate)
+- **`hybrid`**: Combines access time and file size for optimal eviction
+
+**Recommended Algorithms by Cache Type:**
+
+**For Memory Cache (Fast, Limited Size):**
+- **`lru`** - Best overall performance, good balance of speed and hit rate
+- **`lfu`** - Excellent for gaming cafes where popular games stay cached
+- **`hybrid`** - Optimal for mixed workloads with varying file sizes
+
+**For Disk Cache (Slow, Large Size):**
+- **`hybrid`** - Recommended for optimal performance, balances speed and storage efficiency
+- **`largest`** - Good for maximizing number of cached files
+- **`lru`** - Reliable default with good performance
+
+**Use Cases:**
+- **Gaming Cafes**: Use `lfu` for memory, `hybrid` for disk
+- **LAN Events**: Use `lfu` for memory, `hybrid` for disk
+- **Home Use**: Use `lru` for memory, `hybrid` for disk
+- **Testing**: Use `fifo` for predictable behavior
+- **Large File Storage**: Use `largest` for disk to maximize file count
+
+### DNS Configuration
+
+Configure your DNS to direct Steam traffic to your SteamCache2 server:
+
+- If you're on Windows and don't want a whole network implementation, see the [Windows Hosts File Override](#windows-hosts-file-override) section below.

 This will direct any requests to `lancache.steamcontent.com` to your SteamCache2 server.
 
+## Building from Source
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Go 1.19 or later
+- Make (optional, but recommended)
+
+### Build Commands
+
+```bash
+# Clone the repository
+git clone <repository-url>
+cd SteamCache2
+
+# Download dependencies
+make deps
+
+# Run tests
+make test
+
+# Build for current platform

+GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build -o steamcache2-linux-amd64 .
+GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 go build -o steamcache2-windows-amd64.exe .
+```
+
+### Development
+
+```bash
+# Run in development mode with debug logging
+make run-debug
+
+# Run all tests and start the application
+make
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **"Config file not found" on first run**
+   - This is expected! SteamCache2 will automatically create a default `config.yaml` file
+   - Edit the generated config file with your desired settings
+   - Run the application again
+
+2. **Permission denied when creating config**
+   - Make sure you have write permissions in the current directory
+   - Try running with elevated privileges if necessary
+
+3. **Port already in use**
+   - Change the `listen_address` in `config.yaml` to a different port (e.g., `:8080`)
+   - Or stop the service using the current port
+
+4. **High memory usage**
+   - Reduce the memory cache size in `config.yaml`
+   - Consider using disk-only caching by setting `memory.size: "0"`
+
+5. **Slow disk performance**
+   - Use SSD storage for the disk cache
+   - Consider using a different GC algorithm like `hybrid`
+   - Adjust the disk cache size to match available storage
+
+### Getting Help
+
+- Check the logs for detailed error messages
+- Run with `--log-level debug` for more verbose output
+- Ensure your upstream server is accessible
+- Verify DNS configuration is working correctly
