Hallo,
     I have the same problem here. I have set quick_abort_min and _max
to 0 to avoid any (useless, in my situation) download.

But what to do with downloads that have been interrupted before the
config change ?

I.e., I have now 5-6 huge iso file that are beign downloaded by squid as
leftover from previous interrupted downloads.

Can I tell squid to abort them via some kind of administrative interface
(cachemgr doesn't seem to provie such command) or should I go the
iptables route ?

Thanks in advance.
