Its shouldnt use more than about 200K extra when uploading
files to remote servers. There is logic to stop this.
It could be a leak... I'll investigate.

Remote uploading was an unplanned feature that I just thought
would be fun to add in (originally it was just for testing stuff).
What does everyone think about this? Can you see any major
issues wit this functionality? Its implicit in being able to
proxy files into cache anyway. Should it be extended?
