Re: [squid-users] simple question about how far and fast squid fetch the object

Squid is throttled by the client speed.

Small objects that fit in the TCP windows, socket buffers and internal
buffers (total about 50-128KB depending on the OS) are fetched quicker.

The delay_pools feature of Squid can be used to further throttle the download
speed of Squid.
