This has nothing to do with Mongrel.

contents in memory.

What is the code you''re using to serve the file? Mongrel is quite
capable to serve any file from public folder without any Rails code
interfering it.

Because send_data will try to load the whole file in memory.

http://apidock.com/rails/ActionController/Streaming/send_data

Since the file is not dynamically generated, serve it directly, don''t
put it behind Rails.

Neither IE or Mozilla do chunked uploads. Chrome does and mongrels
properly streams the chunked upload to a temporary file.

Place the file inside public, provide the URL to the file as a link,
your browser will start download once the file is served.

send_data is not recommended for big file serving.

Can''t help you on that, please research about it.

Are you using a plugin to manage your uploads? How are you saving the file?

Take the temporary file and use File.move or FileUtils.mv, wonder what
are you doing right now for that.

Please use google to search, there are plenty of file uploading
tutorials about Ruby on Rails on the internet covering "do from
scratch" or using gem/plugins.

this is how am uploading
def upload(params)

        path = get_path(params)
        File.open(path, "wb") do |f|
        while buff= params[:location].read(4096)

        f.write(buff)
        end
        end
end

def get_path(params)
          name = params[:location].original_filename
    directory  = "//192.168.247.77/Smruti/streams"
                path = File.join(directory, name)
          return path
end


def copyFile(uploaded_file)
            @uploaded_file = uploaded_file
            directory = "//192.168.147.17/Smruti/streams"
            #url_dir = "data"
            url_dir = "//192.168.147.17/Smruti/streams"
            name = File.basename(@uploaded_file)
            path = File.join(directory, name)
          if (!FileTest.exist?(path))
             FileUtils.copy @uploaded_file, path
          else
               return "duplicate"
           end

            url = File.join(url_dir, name)
            return url

      end


end

That is copying the file every 4k for you, you can simply File.move
form the temporay filename to the final name in your remote location.

It is expected you dispose the temporary file when you''re done with it.

Please see how proper file uploading and processing is done with Ruby on Rails.

Google is your friend, "Rails File upload"

http://www.rubyinside.com/rails-file-uploading-101-406.html

And others.

If the files are located in a remote server that is not in public
directory, then you will not have alternative but use something like
apache to serve map the files to the remote disk and serve them.

But please, avoid send_data at any cost, and even the file
reading/writing you''re doing, because with the size you''re
working,
you''re just slowing your application with IO operations.

luis ,but do n''t have option other than send_data and one thing i can
do
is while downloading large files i can do it in chunks but i only 
download 4096 byte ,this is my code



File.open(@containerformat.location,"rb")do
      |f| @data = f.read(4096) end

      ext = File.extname(@containerformat.streamName)



        send_data(@data,:filename => name+extension,
        :disposition => ''attachment'')
end
what happening here..

please read about streaming data without loading all the file contents.

You will need to either use rack directly or create a mongrel handler
to serve these files outside rails.

Rails can only deliver one full request meaning it will load the full
file before completing.

      File.open(@containerformat.location,"rb") do |f|
      pos=f.tell
      while @buffer = f.read(4096)

      ext = File.extname(@containerformat.streamName)

      if ext == ''''
        extension = File.extname(@containerformat.location)



        #send_to_web_app(pos, buffer)

        send_data(@buffer,:filename => @containerformat.name+extension,
        :disposition => ''attachment'')

      else

      send_data(@buffer,:filename => @containerformat.streamName,
        :disposition => ''attachment'')
      pos=f.tell
      end

    end

Notice that now you can use send_file which is now (Rails 3) implemented 
through a rack middleware and includes X-sendfile headers.
