Good.

"range_offset_limit -1" says Squid should NEVER resume download, and
instead always download the complete file.

To use this you must also disable quick_abort, telling Squid to always
continue downloading the requested object when the client has
disconnected.

quick_abort_min -1 KB


But be warned that both these settings can cause Squid to waste
excessive amounts of bandwidth on data which will perhaps never be
requested by any client..

Also depending on the Squid version range_offset_limit -1 may result in
significant delays or even timeouts if the client requests a range far
into the requested file. Not sure what the status in Squid-3 is wrt
this.


No change on them from Squid-2.

I solved the problem.

It was the range_offset_limit -1 KB line that was not letting squid resume 
downloads. I set it back to 0KB as it is by default and woila!!! Everything 
back to normal!!

Thank you very much for your support. This is one of the best mailing lists.

Can you try "downgrading" to 2.7 to see if that makes any difference. If it 
does please file a bug report.

Also check your cache.log for any errors.

There isn't much you can do wrong at this level.

I had squid2.6STABLE6-5 before and I upgraded it thinking it was a bug in that 
release. Should I still downgrade to 2.7?
