    copied!<p>My file (126 MB size, .exe) is giving me issues.</p> <p>I'm using the standard laravel download method.</p> <p>I tried increasing the memory but it still either says I have run out of memory, or I download a 0 KB size file.</p> <p>The documentation doesn't mention anything about large file sizes.</p> <p>My code is </p> <pre><code>ini_set("memory_limit","-1"); // Trying to see if this works return Response::download($full_path); </code></pre> <p><strong>Anything I am doing wrong?</strong></p> <p>-- Edit --</p> <p>Going on Phill Sparks comment, this is what I have and <strong>it works</strong>. It's a a combinations of Phill's plus some from php.net. Not sure if there is anything in there missing?</p> <pre><code>public static function big_download($path, $name = null, array $headers = array()) { if (is_null($name)) $name = basename($path); // Prepare the headers $headers = array_merge(array( 'Content-Description' =&gt; 'File Transfer', 'Content-Type' =&gt; File::mime(File::extension($path)), 'Content-Transfer-Encoding' =&gt; 'binary', 'Expires' =&gt; 0, 'Cache-Control' =&gt; 'must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0', 'Pragma' =&gt; 'public', 'Content-Length' =&gt; File::size($path), ), $headers); $response = new Response('', 200, $headers); $response-&gt;header('Content-Disposition', $response-&gt;disposition($name)); // If there's a session we should save it now if (Config::get('session.driver') !== '') { Session::save(); } // Below is from http://uk1.php.net/manual/en/function.fpassthru.php comments session_write_close(); ob_end_clean(); $response-&gt;send_headers(); if ($file = fopen($path, 'rb')) { while(!feof($file) and (connection_status()==0)) { print(fread($file, 1024*8)); flush(); } fclose($file); } // Finish off, like Laravel would Event::fire('laravel.done', array($response)); $response-&gt;foundation-&gt;finish(); exit; } </code></pre>
