The default passthru() method of bitcache causes problems with large files. I have tried 700MB file and it reports a problem:

[Thu Jan 14 19:18:33 2010] [error] [client ...] PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 209715200 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 192153601 bytes) in /home/www/.../www/sites/all/modules/contrib/bitcache/bitcache.inc on line 556

I have found out that ob_end_flush() directly before fpassthru() fixes the problem partially. It again reports memory limit problem but the download of the file continues...

Obviously, it's not enough...

I had to change this to X-Sendfile in passthru() method
