Does request-download download all file into memory?

Hi,
I just tried to download one large file from our intranet and was
wondering, that "Not enough memory" message appeared in Rebol in
console.
Could anyone look at request-download ---> read-thru ----> read-net
functions, as it seems to me that read-net function reads only part of
the port, but it appends it to buffer, which is just rebol word, not
opened file ...
If so, then I don't understand why it is so, because if read-net/to is
specified, we alredy know name of the file we can spool partialy
downloaded data into. I sometimes miss such anync + memory safe behavior
of default rebol functions. I know I can code it myself, but ....
simplicity in default distro is always welcomed ;-)

Fro what i understand, read-net create a buffer of the exact lenght of http
page
if it can found it in the headers object, else use a 8000 byte buffer:
size: to-integer any [port/locals/headers/content-length 8000]
buffer: make binary! size
