well if a access_log entry appears it means that the client is
contacting the squid server.
did you notice that the size of this list\dir is about 1.8 MB?
take something simple such as:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub
it should be about 2.9Kb.
then if it didnt go within 10 secs try using without upper stream proxys.
maybe something is setup wrong on the cache_peer.
there are options to debug with a lot of output from squid that can
simplify the problem.
but i would go to minimum settings and up.
use only one proxy and without a name.
just use the ip for the cache_peer acls.
you can use the debug sections:
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/KnowledgeBase/DebugSections
to make more use of it.
use like this:
debug_options ALL,1 section,verbosity_level
debug_options ALL,1 9,6

there are couple of sections that will provide you with more network
layer info that will help you find the source of the problem.

to see the log tail the cahce.log file.

well i gave you kind of the worst case scenario i could think of.
if you need more help i'm here.
