Is there a file names exacly like this?

You may need to URL-encode the ? characters

    wget ftp://ftp.site.com/file-%3f%3f%3f-x86.exe

Also, squidclient will show you the entire transaction, perhaps showing
some more light on what that 502 error is.

You also need

   never_direct allow all

as per the Squid FAQ on how to use Squid within a firewall.

This is quite likely the source of your problems as the (unencoded) ?
characters makes the URL fall into the "non-hierarchical" category where
Squid will by default go direct unless prohibited.
