[squid-users] R: [squid-users] R: [squid-users] Cancelled downloads

In this case, are you aware of some third-party software/squid plugin which may could do the job?
I'm still crawling the entire internet without luck... I've seen a redirector written in perl, but it seems to use other
caching mechanism, so it renders useless my windows updates collection fetched until now... :)

For who is interested:

Thanks

Not with the current Squid. Sorry.
There is a patch on my TODO list to add ACL support to
range_offset_limit, but nothing yet for quick-abort.
