I'm guessing the problem is that response.download sets Content-Disposition 
as an attachment. Make another controller function in default.py

def stream():
    import re
    from pydal.exceptions import NotAuthorizedException, NotFoundException


    if not request.args:
        raise HTTP(404)
    name = request.args[-1]
    items = re.compile('(?P<table>.*?)\.(?P<field>.*?)\..*').match(name)
    if not items:
        raise HTTP(404)
    (t, f) = (items.group('table'), items.group('field'))
    try:
        field = db[t][f]
    except AttributeError:
        raise HTTP(404)
    try:
        (filename, stream) = field.retrieve(name, nameonly=True)
    except NotAuthorizedException:
        raise HTTP(403)
    except (NotFoundException, IOError):
        raise HTTP(404)
    return response.stream(stream)

Note that this function could be made a lot simpler but I wanted it to work 
with uploadseparate=True and to work for any kind of file you want to 
stream.

Now replace "download" with "stream" in your URL and you're done.
