Comment(by jsgf):

 Replying to [comment:5 zooko]:
 > My favorite solution to this would be to implement #320 (add streaming
 (on-line) upload to HTTP interface) so that the gateway doesn't use the
 disk at all. #320 would offer great improvements, IMO, in performance and
 flexibility.

 However, in this case we're talking about cache files for *downloading*.
 When you do a byte-range GET request, you lose streaming downloads.
