I think using delay pools like Lewis says could be another way.

If you don't have much traffic that needs priority over squid then you 
may be able to get away with shaping on lan facing eth with the same 
settings as the delay pools.

If you use imq then you won't be able to tell which user squid is 
fetching the data for.

Whatever you do remember that shaping download is shaping traffic that 
has already been shaped by your link - so you need to back off from the 
link speed to have any chance of getting control, it still won't be 
perfect if you care alot about latency.
