Hmmm.. So I guess this behaviour is caused by these following lines: range_offset_limit -1 maximum_object_size 200 MB quick_abort_min -1 Which are used to cache the most possible from windows update... (from: http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/WindowsUpdate) At this point I'm asking if there's any workaround for this.. I mean: is it possible to make "quick_abort_min" to be set to -1 only for windows updates, and have it behave normally for the rest of the websites?
