Well Zope corporation has experience of tens gigabytes of data in FileStorage ( Data.fs ) in ZEO enviroment, so that shouldn't be the main issue.
And if it is, I second azazel's recommendation: DirectoryStorage is pretty nice. Ours is "only" about 3 GB total, currently.
Larger issue is how fast your system will be for uplaoding and downloading the data from ZODB. Zope sucks big rocks in handling big files, so that might bring your system down or force you to bring in more machines into cluster - or move storing and serving large files outside ZODB.
Or it might force you to help fix those problems ;-) there have been some discussions on zope-dev about this issue, which I am determined to work on whenever i can find the time. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com Look!
