It is clear that for the time it took to complete the request 57
seconds is way to much time to the request actually been delivered by
X-Sendfile headers and not by Rails.

Do you understand that?
Rails is serving the request, the 1.1GB, not Apache.
That is why is failing.

Dunno about that, but it is clear that the file is not being streamed by Apache.
First:
1) I assume you have mongrel behind apache as reverse-proxy
2) static files are being served by Apache and not send to mongrel
3) You can check apache logs to verify that the request is actually
setting the headers.
4) Is D:/ directory available to Apache? is a mapped network drive?
5) Can you check "tasklist" or Windows Task Manager to determine which
process is the one eating the memory? Apache or Mongrel
6) When reporting a problem, try to include the more version
information as possible, like apache version, Ruby version etc.
And again, as mentioned before, search the web first and try to
determine if the problem is you (and the way you do things) or the
tools you''re using by separating and analyzing each individual part of
your setup.
