[squid-users] slow downloads

I have implemented squid-2.4 stable 1 on a Slackware Linux box with kernel 2.2.18
I setup squid and redirected port 80 through 8080 and it caches webpages pages fine. The only problem is that anytime anyone tries to download something from a web server the download will immediately fall to about 200 bytes a second (on a DSL line) and then just stop completely. FTP transfers work just fine. It seems to be only downloads when downloading from a web server. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
Here is my squid.conf per the CGI admin program if that helps.
