How do you download the file? Do you just go to the file directly, or do
you use something like "getfile.php?id=yourfilehere". If you use the
second method, make shure you don't try to read the file-contents into a
variable before displaying it:

$content = join( "\n", file( $fileLocation ) );

because this will cause errors with the php memory usage. Use fopen and
fread instead to read small pieces and then print them reusing the same
variable.
Or if you use an output buffer, make shure it doesn't grow to big...

If you use the first method... I have no idea.
