Good.

"range_offset_limit -1" says Squid should NEVER resume download, and
instead always download the complete file.

To use this you must also disable quick_abort, telling Squid to always
continue downloading the requested object when the client has
disconnected.

quick_abort_min -1 KB

But be warned that both these settings can cause Squid to waste
excessive amounts of bandwidth on data which will perhaps never be
requested by any client..

Also depending on the Squid version range_offset_limit -1 may result in
significant delays or even timeouts if the client requests a range far
into the requested file. Not sure what the status in Squid-3 is wrt
this.
