'sfine, though billions are debatable. If your hardware's too slow, get 
better hardware. DB'll be the sticking point here, and the schema's 
miniscule.

Might need a little tuning, but seems to do okay. You have to insure 
min_free_space is bigger than the largest file you expect to have... 
unless that bug is fixed? (it only ensures you have min_free_space 
available before storing a file... not the length of the file).

For downloads, yeah. That's a straight-up perlbal feature. There was 
someone messing with uploads, but I dunno if it worked? :)
