    No, squid has no mode do that automagically.

    But .... with some linux clients, wget for example, you can easily
do that !!!!!

cd /tmp/garbage

sites.txt should contain URL of the sites you wanna to fetch

www.onesite.com
www.othersite.com
www.anything.com

export http_proxy=http://your.squid.ip.box:3128
wget -i sites.txt --mirror

    that should fetch in mirror style (EVERYTHING) from the informed
sites and save them under the directory you started wget. Depending on
the amount of data, that could take a long time to run. You can probably
erase everything after wget finishes, but it may be intelligent to keep
the files and run mirror again some days after, which will make MUCH
less traffic being generated.

    and, in the end of the process, squid should have cached everything
that is cacheable according to site configurations and your caching
parameters as well.

    squid has no automatic mode for doing that, but that can be easily
done with wget.
