A little more information would be useful.  Why did it stop? Was there an
error message?  Can you show the commands/console log of what you did.
Provide information on how much memory your computer has on it.  When the
operation completed, how much memory was used.  An important aspect is how
many columns did the data have.  How big was the file on disk.  What other
objects were in memory at the same time.  The list can go on and on, so
more information would be useful to understand the problem.
