This seems odd. Is Squid bottlenecking somewhere?

Default Squid settings set no limits on download speed. Trying to tune Squid to solve a performance problem is useless unless you've determined if and where Squid is bottlenecking. > 2) What do I look out in access.log to check if cached pages are been > successfully served? (Squid automatically cache pages right?) TCP_HIT, and yes, Squid will automatically cache pages - if they are cachable. > 3) I have 2 PCs, A and B. A downloads a file.

Assuming the file was cachable, then yes. Use Google to search for "cachability test engine" to find a utility that will show you if a given URL is cachable and why/why not.
