So, let me get this straight. You are trying to serve a 299mb file, directly from your webapp instance?
I'm just gonna come right out and say it... what you are doing is pretty stupid. I'd look into doing things properly (i.e. serving it from a real web server) rather than trying to resolve this problem. PS) The reason you are getting a MemoryError, is because your webapp instance is trying to buffer up 299MB of data to send to the client. Not cool.
