[Zope-dev] ClientCache and Large Files

I'm afraid not; this isn't a very typical use case.  You could
implement a file size limit, or increase the cache size to be more
than twice the largest expected dowload (the cache is implemented as
two files, each of which is limited to half the nominal cache size).
