 * I suggest adding a statement to check whether the file exists. I had to hack 
   the plugin to prevent it from filling my disc in 1.08 seconds with error logs.
   While had entered an infinite loop and crashed.
 *     ```
       if($handle){
                 while (!feof($handle)) {
   
                   $buffer = fread($handle, $chunksize);
                   echo $buffer;
                   ob_flush();
                   flush();
                 }
                 fclose($handle);
         }
       ```
