Please do not misunderstand me. The problem is just with the nature of Squid being primarily an http proxy/Cache server not an FTP. The best way to do FTP in Squid is through a web browser. My 2 cents. The reading of a fixed data size ? "can't say impossible" but tuff.
Maybe there are other FTP proxy's that allow you to do that. But I am not familiar with them.

Is it really unconfigurable option in squid? Probably I can 'fix' something in source code... but reading 300 KB of data on first 10 KB request is not right! :)
