I'm running squid stable 6 and I find that if I download the following file:

from internet explorer but don't hit save then my mem_node count will grow and my process memory usage will grow. This isn't limited by the cache_mem directive and keeps growing until the full file is downloaded.
Do you see the same symptoms with 2.5.STABLE8?
Seems to work just fine here. If the download is paused Squid will stop forwarding data and the TCP windows fills up, and the mem_node count is marginal.
Should I be expecting this behaviour?
No.
Should my memory usage also drop back down after the download is complete?
Yes, with the above symptoms.
