You are having 2 delay pools and using the delay pools for class C (255.255.255.0 family) ip-address.

delay pool number 1 is a class 2 delay pool to restict each host with the limit 7 - 8 k bytes

You have already given 7 - 8 k bytes limit usage to all hosts. So it won't work.

You have to change the delay_parametes settings. It is good to have the following,
- How much total load you are having?
- what are all the acls settings?

> delay_access 1 deny nolimit
> delay_access 1 allow files
> delay_access 1 allow clienti-64k

Normally don't use more then two rules per delay pool type. Change the above as
delay_access 1 allow clienti-64k files !nolimit
delay_access 1 deny all

oops.You are using files users in two delay types!!

I am not sure with the above problem. It is good to change the complete setting and check again.
Send your requirement with the details.
