The higher value for chunk_size didn't work with a 33 MiB file. Even
in Firefox 4.
So I tried 1.96.4 (Rocket 1.2.2) on Windows XP.
Made a new and simple app (dtest). The download there uses
"response.download(request,db)" as well.
1 simple table: db.define_table('stuff', Field('file', 'upload'))
Upload of the 33 MiB file via db admin, content listed on
http://127.0.0.1:8001/dtest/default/data/select/stuff (default
function "data" with "return dict(form=3Dcrud())". Download with
Internet Explorer 8 (after removing the tag that switches to "Chrome
Frame", to have a realistic test like "normal" users).
Download was broken. A few KiB were missing. This was on localhost.
Remote tests have even worse results.
