[squid-users] Problem downloading large files

Hi all,

We noticed that users behind our Squid cannot download files larger
than 2 Gb: the connection is cut around that limit.

reply_body_max_size is not set in squid.conf so download file size
should be unlimited.

I've done a tcpdump capture and examined it on Wireshark; I see a FIN
from the remote server after that 2 Gb have been transferred.

Bypassing the Linux bridge where the Squid runs solves the problem, so
apparently the problem lies at the Squid or OS level.

Squid is version 3.1.7 with configure options:
'--enable-linux-netfilter' '--enable-wccp' '--prefix=/usr'
'--localstatedir=/var' '--libexecdir=/lib/squid' '--srcdir=.'
'--datadir=/share/squid' '--sysconfdir=/etc/squid'
'CPPFLAGS=-I../libltdl' --with-squid=/root/squid-3.1.7
--enable-ltdl-convenience

Thanks,

L.
