Segmented Caching:

# my custom enabled Segmented Caching code
if (req.url.ext ~ "(?i)(7z|bz2|gz|gzip|iso|json|rar|tar|tgz|ts|zip)$") {
   set req.enable_segmented_caching = true;
}

Set TTLs:

# download archives
if (req.url.ext ~ "(?i)(7z|bz2|gz|gzip|iso|json|rar|tar|tgz|ts|zip)$") {
  set beresp.ttl = 2592000s;
  return (deliver);

# index pages
if (req.url ~ "/$") {
  set beresp.ttl = 300s;
  return (deliver);
