Squid bandwidth management

i know squid also has limits on the file sizes that can be downloaded,
this might prevent users from using webmail and downloading large
attachments or the like.
if mail is happening over regular pop3/smtp, firewalling and bandwidth
shaping/prioritizing can help.
there are some distributions tailored for firewall scenarios that come
with front ends for configuring bandwidth shaping and the like, i would
consider using them, as they serve the function well and are not tedious
to maintain.
