Just curious: did you implement the size quota via an apache directive (eg. 
LimitRequestBody) or is there some way to implement a size limitation within 
Zope without having the entire file object uploaded first and then having an 
'after the fact' size check (python script/external method etc) which 
refuses to process the file object if it exceeds the size limit (as this 
would not stop users from consuming server resources while the file is 
initially uploaded and forwarded to zope)?
