I would view this more of a PHP memory limitation than a deficency with the 
plugin. 
PHP is not made to handle that type of load, and does fairly poorly when 
stressed. 
I do mention this in the readme (big attachments) but it also goes for when
downloading lots of messages.

As far as it not spitting out an error when downloading huge archives, it most
definitely should.  I have no control over whether or not PHP would spit out a
memory error in this instance since it would be a fatal error.  Since I parse 
and
load everything in memory first before outputting the headers, a memory error 
should
occur and show up on the page prior to it popping up to download the archive.   
You
might want to check your php.ini to see what you have set in "error_reporting".

But since you aren't getting an error and barring any php settings, I think 
there
may be something else going on.  I will try doing some tests with a few of my 
larger
mailboxes to see what I can come up with.

I plan in the future to allow caching to disk, which should alleviate this 
problem.
