squid: how to apply changes even downloading files
If u config squid to block some users, it's work without any problem, just for new connections.
But if u change config to block another user that is downloading a file, and reconfigure squid, squid can't block it.
In other words, can squid apply new changes to online users (of course without stop squid!)?
Any help appreciated.

Spell out your words, please...text-speak isn't appreciated; read the LQ Rules, please.
And no, you obviously can't, since squid has already accepted that users connection, and is running. To kill that session, it needs to be terminated first. You CAN reload the config file, in one of three ways:
/usr/sbin/squid -k reconfigure
/etc/init.d/squid reload
kill -HUP `cat /var/run/squid.pid`
Modify commands as needed, since your squid may be in a different directory, or the PID file may be elsewhere.
Thanks for your reply and of your hint.
It's very bad thing: "squid has already accepted that users connection, and is running".
So i can't manage quota limitation for each users.
Anyway, thank you again.

Why is it a 'bad thing' that squid is working exactly like you set it up?? If you want to apply quotas, restrictions, etc., then you will just need to restart the service. The worst thing that's going to happen, is that your users will have an interruption of a few seconds. You can even put the restart into cron, and have it restart itself at night, when no one is using it. Why are either of those bad things?
