Whether the object is cached by Squid depends on the headers the app and
the server send out. Usually they allow caching.
The problem is more likely that the download app is fetching multiple
ranges simultaneously, which is a problem with Squid which may try to
download the whole file for each part so that it can send cached copies
in future. Squid-3 does not yet do collapsed forwarding which hid the
problem in Squid-2.

We will need details of the problem you are having in order to help.
