Squid proxy server

I set up a PC based firewall/router using PFsense for my home netwrok of about 5 PC's. I configured squid to cache to the hard drive.

If I download a large file from an external website on PC "A", then download the same file again on PC "A", squid is clearly working - the file downloads at LAN speed rather than WAN speed.

If I download the same file from PC "B" on the same LAN it will pull it from the external website again rather than from the cache. If I download it again from PC "B" it comes from the cache.

Is this normal for squid or is there some thing else to configure? I tried both transparent proxy and using a proxy port with the same results.
 
squid is not used to cache large downloads in most cases. The caching feature is for repeated common page requests.
