faster alternative to cfcontent for large file downloads?

Question

I am using cfcontent to securely download files so the user
can not see the path the file is stored in. With small files this
is fine, but with large 100mb+ files, it is much, much slower than
a straight html anchor tag. Does anyone have a fast alternative to
using cfheader/cfcontent for large files?

Thanks

You should be able to use Java to handle this, either through a custom tag or you might be able to call the Java classes directly in Coldfusion. I don't know much about Java, but I found this example on the Web and got it to work for uploading files. Here's an example of the code. Hope it gives you some direction:
