big downloads discuraged with php?

Hello,

I have coded a webinterface to a (Debian) pbuilder (i386, amd64, m68k,
powerpc, sparc, mips, hppa, ia64 and arm) which can check and backport
Debian sources.

Now I have some trouble, because some people have tried to let php5
download source tarballs of 30-400 MByte...  This let my system smoking!

Not that I have no bandwidth (SONET, Dual STM-4) or performance issues
(32 CPU's 650MHz, 64 GB memory) but I want to ask you about security
issues downloading such big files...

Is it better, to span a shell with wget?
