Re: [squid-users] Cancelled downloads

Hi, I have the same situation with users on my site, they download many BIG files and then cancel them, eventhough I set some delay pools so they get bured, but the big files are kept by squid and the HD is getting full. Is there any solution to solve it, thru SQUID?.
