[squid-users] Clients getting accessed denied for cache objects/files with the download restrictions

Hi Friends,

We are trying to cache some files from apple.com like .dmg, .pkg, .ipa
etc.. so that local clients can fetch the data from the cache. The
problem we are facing is that we have download restrictions for every
client to 25 MB during work hours except for a particular client. Now
when this exception client downloads the files from apple.com it gets
downloaded from the site and gets stored in the cache but as the
download restrictions are for 25MB the files which are even in cache
with size more than 25MB are not accessed by the other clients, if we
remove download restriction for that client then the software gets
downloaded.

 Is there any way we can allow any client to access objects/files in
cache without removing the download restriction. We are using Squid
2.6 on Centos 5 64-bit.

Cache configuration:
cache_mem 128 MB
maximum_object_size_in_memory 1024 KB
cache_dir ufs /var/spool/squid 400000 16 256
maximum_object_size 4096 MB
refresh_pattern -i
\.(deb|rpm|exe|zip|tar|tgz|ram|rar|bin|ppt|doc|tiff|dmg|pkg|ipa)$
