Varnish Close the connection on long files

We have a lot of videos. Some of them of 500Mb, and when the users want to dowload them, varnish close the connection before the file is fully downloaded. We know this is the problem cause everytime we receive the same file but with differents sizes. If the connection is slow, the file is smaller.
