[squid-users] File download stalls

I'm experiencing problems with the download of files from various
websites through squid where the file stalls at the same exact point
every single time. This happens regardless of client OS or browser
(IE, Firefox, wget). For instance one of the problematic files is from
Microsoft. The access.log shows this:

1178289399.282 275 10.1.11.32 TCP_MISS/302 739 GET
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/info.aspx? - DIRECT/207.46.19.190
text/html

The wget of the file:

wget "http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/info.aspx?na=90&p=&SrcDisplayLang=en&SrcCategoryId=&SrcFamilyId=b44a0000-acf8-4fa1-affb-40e78d788b00&u=http%3a%2f%2fdownload.microsoft.com%2fdownload%2fa%2f3%2ff%2fa3f1bf98-18f3-4036-9b68-8e6de530ce0a%2fNetFx64.exe"

The download always stops at 8% and 4,203,251. There is also nothing
in cache.log that eludes to any problem. And tcpdump looks normal, the
communication between the client and squid and squid and the server
just stops. Any pointers on troubleshooting would be great.
