Sirs, My fault that I bungled the sequence of delay_parameters in the mail expressing my delay pools problem. But in squid.conf it is as advised by you. Further, after reading your reply, I tested the download again and I have found that this speed disobedience is caused in Mozilla Firefox browser only. In Internet Explorer, the speed hovers around 6000 (which is the pool/bucket) as specified in the delay pool for the Heavy files (STRINGS_SLOW) but it does not go to the lower limit of 4000 (which is allowed speed) even in Internet Explorer.
