Downloading All Rows in OBIEE 11g

Question

Hi all,
I'm just starting using OBIEE 11g, and found out the difference between 11g and 10g on the downloading of query result from the Answers.
In OBIEE 10g:
(1) Default rows shown in the table view is 25.
(2) Clicking on "show all rows" will show all available rows.
(3) Downloading to Excel will download all available rows, no matter what I'm currently seeing. So even if I'm seeing row 1-25, all available rows will be downloaded; if I'm seeing row 100-125, all available rows will be downloaded; and so forth.
In OBIEE 11g:
(a) Default rows shown in the table view is 25.
(b) Clicking on "show all rows" will only shows 500 rows.
(c) Downloading to Excel will only download the rows which are currently shown. So if I'm seeing row 1-25, that's all that will be downloaded; if I'm seeing row 501-1001, that's all that will be downloaded; and so forth.
I've looked at some blogs about this, and found out that it is possible to increase the number of maximum rows shown by adding <MaxVisibleRows>500000</MaxVisibleRows> and changing <DefaultRowsDisplayedInDownload>500000</DefaultRowsDisplayedInDownload> in the instanceconfig.xml file. It solved the problem (b) above. So now, clicking on "show all rows" will show 500000 rows. It's not really show all rows, but it should be enough.
However, problem (c) still exists. I can only download all rows after clicking "show all rows" first. It means, I will have to show the maximum 5000000 rows first so that I can download them. Which is different from 10g, as mentioned in point (3) above.
I'd like to be able to download all available rows without having to show all the rows first. Because if I have to show all the rows first, when there are a lot of records, it will make the browser hang. Is it possible to achieve the same method as what was done in 10g? Any advice?
Thank you very much.
