Hi Adrian,
Thanks a lot for your prompt reply.
Actually, I need to implement the quota system as a part of my final year Engineering project. I am planning to make it as a sort of an add-on package over Squid, which will be compatible with all current versions of Squid. As you can see, modifying the Squid source code is not an option for me.
Please let me know if there is any way (or workaround) by which I can interrupt ongoing transfers in current versions of Squid without having to patch & rebuild it.
Thanks & Regards,
Kaustav

Someone may beat me to this, but I'm actually proposing a quote to a
company to implement quota services in Squid to support stuff just
like what you've asked for.
I'll keep the list posted about this. Hopefully I'll get the green
light in a week or so and can begin work on implementing the
functionality in Squid-2.
Thanks,
Adrian

I have a daemon running which checks the log files, and whnever the download limit is reached (for a particular user), it blocks that user in the config and reconfigures squid (squid -k reconfigure) for the changes to take effect.
