This looks like be bug in "gluon/wsgiserver.py" which is the cherrypy wsgiserver. I will look into it but because it is (the only) third party package in there it is unlikely it will be fixed soon.
I suggest you setup apache with mod_wsgi and bypass compleyely the built-in web server for production application, in particular for serving large files.
