[squid-users] Problems in downloading from a parent...

I've just started implementing my squid "solution" after a long studying
period...right now I've got this problem: I've got a frontend squid
working like a Layer7 Switch for a backend squid, configured like parent
proxy using:

cache_peer 10.50.5.80 parent 8080 3130 proxy-only

in the frontend squid.conf
Now, I wanted to use the front end squid for small files only (thus I've
used max_obj_size 4096KB) while the backend squid for big files (using
max_obj_size 2000000KB). Now the problem is, whenever I try to download
a big file, therefore passing through the frontend squid, I only get 4MB
of that file. It seems like the frontend squid "cut" the connection with
the backend squid while this one is sending back the file! Why?!? I
mean: reading the squid.conf.default "max_object_size file_size" should
only tell squid not to cache anything bigger than file_size, while, in
my case, it seems like it even makes it stop receiving the file!!!??
Maybe it's my fault? Couldn't I understand how it really works or what?

Thanks in advance
