It would be possible to do a HEAD request before the GET, but that's some
serious overhead, even if you could hack it into squid.

Your best bet is probably to send certain extensions (zip, exe, rar, ...)
to the peer. You will hit a few small ones, and miss a few big ones, but
overall it should work okay.
