I try it and have no delay before download starts. It took around 1 second before download of 800Mb file starts, I interrupt it then.

My setup is similar to yours, except HW: it is [cubeitruck](https://help.nextcloud.com/t/best-cheap-hardware-to-run-nextcloud-on/4715/287) with tiny CPU.

Check your debugging page in browser, what is happening down there.  
Also you can check logs in real time to see what happens, e.g.

```
sudo tail -f /var/log/apache2/access.log
sudo tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log
sudo tail -f /var/log/php7.3-fpm.log

```

May be you have something strange in Apache2 config?
