Hi
I am using RHL 9 with Squid Cache: Version 2.5.STABLE12 on 1 MBPS Broadband link. I have already applied ACLs to block downloading of zip, exe, mp3, etc. file types.

Now a need arises that .zip files should be allowed to download but with restriction of say max of 1 mb at a time.

Also is it possible to restrict a user to download a specific mbs throuhgout a day after which downloading should not be allowed for that user on that day?

Is it possible to do so using squid?

Please help me..

To restrict downloading to particular limit you have to change the below parameter in squid.conf file

reply_body_max_size

Buy default its 0 means unlimited downloading , u can limit that to any size u  want
