Description:
------------
when file lager than ~ 2MB i only get ~2MB send to the header

eg:
if($result_size = @readfile( $file_to_download) ) { ; 
     $msg = _DOWNLOAD_SUCCESSFUL;
} else {
     $msg = _ERROR_COULDNOTCOMPLETETHEFILE;
}

this is since php5 beta and have no idea why, no error no other messages.
execution time and memorylimit are set very high for testing. no changes.

hmmm. my hoster still has this bug, 
i just reported this as "note" for other users to have a work around.

<?php
function readfile_chunked($filename,$retbytes=true) {
   $chunksize = 1*(1024*1024); // how many bytes per chunk
   $buffer = '';
   $cnt =0;
   // $handle = fopen($filename, 'rb');
   $handle = fopen($filename, 'rb');
   if ($handle === false) {
       return false;
   }
   while (!feof($handle)) {
       $buffer = fread($handle, $chunksize);
       echo $buffer;
       if ($retbytes) {
           $cnt += strlen($buffer);
       }
   }
       $status = fclose($handle);
   if ($retbytes && $status) {
       return $cnt; // return num. bytes delivered like readfile() does.
   }
   return $status;

}
?> 

kind regards
