If I remember you were trying to do some operation using zip files and 
fread.
Is apache downloading the files directly, or do you pass the files 
through php and push out the http headers from there?
If you are passing the binary data through php you might want to read in 
chunks then flush the data to the browser (base 64 encode also) rather 
than one long stream.
