Well, the test case is:
1) above with big files = big apache processes - machine crashes

2) download big files with:
     Header("Location: ".$html_pointer_to_file);
   = small apache processes - works great

So, I don't know if it can be anything else but that - so I am open to 
suggestions, or tests that anyone wants me to run.
