[ILUG] Download File limits in Squid

[AJ McKee]

Hi Everyone,

I have a quick question about squid for eveyone who deals with it. 
Squid can limit the size of files downloaded which is cool. Okay now 
for the nice bit. What if instead of using a fixed file size as a 
limit, useres were allowed to download, say 20 megs (Of files over a 
certain limit) a week. So at the start of each week Ann could download 
20megs, as she downloads a file thats over a certain limit, her counter 
goes up. When she exceeds the 20 megs Squid produces an error. At the 
start of each week the counter is reset to zero and the process begins 
again. Its a bit more flexable than just blanket baning file downloads 
over a certain limit. But can it be done with Squid? Has anyone a 
notion of how it would be done if in fact it could be?

Thanks in advance
Aj
