Re: [? BUG ?] weird thing; downloading from a php script stops at exactly 2.000.000 bytes

It's probably something to do with maximum memory, or something like that, but taking into account that your method is stretching the resources, fopen/fread may be a better solution. I'd be curious to see the benchmarked differences - but couldn't be bothered at this minute doing the benchmarking atm.
