Crashes on huge file downloads

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Offering large Download-Files for download (e.g. 100 MB)


Could You implement a file stream like 
$handle = fopen($file, "r");
        $contents = $header."\r\n";
        while (!feof($handle)) {
            $contents .= fread($handle, 8*1024);
            echo $contents;
        }
        fclose($handle);
