Squid can only cache traffic that can be proxied by Squid. This is
mainly HTTP.
FTP (and Gopher) can also be proxy-cached by Squid, but only if using
a web browser configured to use Squid as a proxy for FTP. If the user
is using a normal FTP program then Squid cannot act as a proxy for
the FTP session (for this you need a FTP proxy).
Usually, and especially in a university environment, there is a whole
lot of other Internet traffic than HTTP...

The bandwidth savings depends a lot on what kind of traffic you
actually have and how much of this traffic that can be changed to be
proxied by Squid.
Of the traffic that can be proxied by Squid, a bandwidth saving of
about 20% is not at all unrealistic, but to know how this relates to
your total bandwidth you first need to know how much of your traffic
can be proxied by Squid.

That you link is not used equal the whole time. Was trying to estimate
the average bandwidth usage over a 24 hour period.
