as the man said, dont use http for this,

if you must then i suggest that you have a separate partition for your
large files and make fstab read as such (example)

/dev/web /                       ext3    defaults,directio        1 1

add the directio comment and the file will not go to ram, nor to swap. this
will speed up things, but you should hand the downloads over to a different
method (not http).
