I have not been able to get in there, apache is giving Forbidden.
But I'm curious whether your version exhibits the same
horrible behavior I've just observed with LocalFS 1.1
(tarball from sourceforge):
with File objects at least, and maybe others, the ZODB grows
by approximately the size of the object for *every download*.

I noticed this because I ran ab on a test file
in a localfs instance and my Data.fs promptly grew by a gigabyte! 8-0

I don't know what causes this yet. I never observed anything
like it with LocalFS 1.0 on Zope 2.5* or 2.6.*.
