 Replying to [comment:3 timClicks]:
 > Would it be possible to alter Browse's behaviour before making a
 download? This could be achieved through an HTTP HEAD request, then
 checking for available space.

 Nope, because users download several things in parallel so space runs out
 in unpredictable ways. We should figure out a way to interrupt downloads
 before the filesystem becomes full.
