With the delay_access and rep_mime_type ACL. Though keep in mind delay
pools are not a 'guarantee' they are limits. Networks service may be
much slower than the pool allows, but cannot be faster.

http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v3/3.0/cfgman/delay_access.html
http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v3/3.0/cfgman/acl.html

The videos all have a predictable mime type "video/flv". Which can be
used in the ACL and access controls to assign a delay pool.
