Add ability to download in chunks for large files

[Mehonoshin]

Hey there!

I wonder, could we somehow to download huge file from box.com, without spending all available RAM?
I mean downloading it by chunks.

I'm having an issue with this as well. Large file downloads choke and throw a NoMemoryError.

Nevermind. Here's what I did:

uri = client.download_url(id)

open(uri) do |fin|
 open(fname, "w") do |fout|
   while (buf = fin.read(8192))
     fout.write buf
   end
 end
end

Looking at this again, I'm interesting in building a 'parallel download' feature much like the chunked upload feature. Perhaps it could manage the file merging itself as well
