[SQU] Squid and FTP

Hi,
I'm making this re-post because I have no idea in how to solve this.
And this is getting in the way of full implementation of Squid :(
The problem got worse.
Now, whenever an FTP connection is made it just doesn't finish.
Please help.

Regards,

Bruno Guerreiro.

P.S. I'll send a copy of my squid.conf to anyone asking and willing to give
an advice.

That didn't work either.
It just freezes.
I tried also with client_persistent_connections off.
Another thing. After the download freezes, if I 'squid -k shutdown' then the
download ends ok. (???)
 
Update... I was trying to get the file while I was wrinting this message.
After leaving the download window just hanging around (frozen in 2,62MB), it
closed itself after 10-15 minutes. No error reported on access.log and file
is ok.
BTW, this is FTP server, as reported by CuteFTP: Capone FTP server (SunOS
5.8).
Regards,

Bruno Guerreiro

Ok. Sounds like it might be some issue with persistent connections in
the connection to the MS-Proxy. Try

server_persistent_connections off
