Partial downloads aren't the issue. Downloaders that use subranges
on very large non-cacheable files are what seem to cause the pathological
behavior. Windows Update and Intuit's QuickBooks update are the worst
offenders. I will publish details to this list shortly; I would have done
so sooner but my first priority was finding some kind of workaround. I
think I've finally come up with one whose primary drawback is that it could
waste space on the cache disk and/or evict useful objects from the cache.
But it does seem as if it will prevent the huge bandwidth waste we've been
seeing, at least until Squid's behavior is corrected.
