I recently went through a situation where I had to download some 300MB+ files.

In fact, it seems that Jmeter tries to keep the sample result in memory until 
the operation has finished.
I assume that this is done in order to do allow assertion, content analysis etc, but where very large files are involved, this is a real issue.

I made a quick workaround using OS sampler + wget command+ delete file command.
I think that an option to save the sample result to file, would be more 
appropriate.

First solve your out of memory issues, then you may be able to load a large

Most common cause of memory issues in gui are listeners, particularly results 
tree.  Try only recording errors if you need it at all.  Gui is intended for 
testing your tests, rather than doing your load testing.

AFAIK, in non-gui tests it is likely older HTTP implementations, use v4+.  I 
never get memory issues in CLI tests.

However, 100MB filetostring does not really sound like something I'd want to 
do, are you sure it is the best design?
