Confirmed this problem *does* exist on IE6 behind Squid by attempting
to download a suse 10.x DVD image some 3454MB in size. Download
indicator went form 0% to 100% in less than a second and confirmed a
download size of 554 bytes in 1 sec.

Confirmed this problem *does not* exist on IE7 behind Squid. Same file
started at the same time and the download indicator tells me I can
expect a 2:42 wait with the current download rate of 355 KB/sec (Not
bad for a 512kbps DSL).

Here's the link for anyone else wanting to try a large file download:
