<div>I think it's important, because on gigabat LAN, if you upload a large file the server file system goes up way high and is impractical. File system writes are much more severe on performance than writes.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Also for users on high speed internet we've seen uploads of up to 8 Megabytes/sec which causes massive file system load, and noticably slow down the whole server.<br></div>
<div>Lastly it would be helpful to block massive DOS attacks that upload large files and cause file system load which our organization has actual have happen.</div>

<div>Thanks,</div>
<div>Have a nice day.<br></div>
