[squid-users] Getting the full file content on a range request, but not on EVERY get ...

Hey guys,

First take a look at the log:

Now think: An user is just doing a segmented/ranged download, right? 
Squid won't cache the file because it is a range-download, not a full 
file download.
But I WANT squid to cache it. So I decide to use "range_offset_limit 
-1", but then on every GET squid will re-download the file from the 
beginning, opening LOTs of simultaneous connections and using too much 
bandwidth, doing just the OPPOSITE it's meant to!

Is there a smart way to allow squid to download it from the beginning to 
the end (to actually cache it), but only on the FIRST request/get? Even 
if it makes the user wait for the full download, or cancel it 
temporarily, or.. whatever!! Anything!!

Best Regards,
