wasn't that caused by download "accelerators" that requested different parts
of the same file in parallel?

What you can do is set up range_offset_limit to always fetch the whole file.
That would help you if the same files are fetched from squid's cache.
But that can be ineffective if clients fetch only small parts of files that
change too often.
