Sorry, I'm late to the thread -- one more question:
How many columns are in the file?

Galaxy will only display tabular datasets with fewer than 50 columns using
the 'fancy' display which also loads the file incrementally and renders on
demand.  For very 'wide' files, Galaxy defaults to using the original
tabular file display which is what you're seeing -- just serving the raw
data, or, in the case of large files, only the first 1MB.  There's an issue
on Github (or more likely, Trello, still) about creating a more suitable
"Matrix" view that'd work for files like these but that's work that has not
been done yet.
