The Content-Length part of my earlier response still applies.

The adaptation parts of my earlier response do not apply to cache hits:
Squid does not support the post-cache RESPMOD vectoring point.

If your use case is limited to cache hits, then modifying Squid to add a
response size-like ACL would be even more tempting because fully cached
hits without a Content-Length header have known (to Squid) sizes. Please
note cache hits that are still in the process of being downloaded (and
cached) may lack the Content-Length header. In that case, those cache
hits will not have a known (to Squid) size.

You could try using client delay pools (see Amos response for details)
but please note that those pools aggregate based on client IP addresses.
If you have many clients with the same source IP address (NAT or a peer
proxy), then this aggregation may present problems.

You may prefer response delay pools, but they are only available in v5:

Overall, you may be better off redesigning your bandwidth limiting plans
away from "file size" and towards something more directly related to
bandwidth consumption. The further you get from HTTP, the more difficult
mapping your requirements to HTTP tool capabilities becomes...


HTH,

Alex.
