Hi,

This is half a feature request/bug.

When downloading very large files (> 1GB), Invoke-Webrequest will:

  • usually crash with a stream too long exception,
  • consume huge amount of memory, going beyound 2.5GB or RAM used.

Which make this commandlet unsuited for something that would work flawlessly on wget.

Do you have any plans on improving this? How complex would this feature be?
