Any other way? This seems a bit late in the game, and fairly inefficient.
 For
example, we have a number of groups who have committed multiple DVD .iso
files
in one transaction.

While I don't mind punishing them by making them wait to transfer 4G+ and
then
wait some more while the server cats the file to count the bytes, both of
those actions are needlessly resource wasteful...

I was hoping someone had experimented with some Apache options to limit
transaction size. (Yet another thing on my todo list that I hope someone
else has more experience with...) Possibly something like
LimitRequestBody 4194304 ????
