When IE6 is setup to use proxy (squid), and the aforementioned file is
downloaded, a download window opens and the progress indicator zips to
100% in the first second after which IE announces that the download is
complete. What the user really has is a file with a size equivalent to
the effective kbps of their internet pipe.

When IE6 is setup *not* to use proxy, and the same file is downloaded,
the behaviour is as expected and the resulting file is the correct
size.

Two tcpdumps have been submitted.

Let me know if you need more specific information, and I will provide it.
