I have the same issue with GAE in regards to the entity size limit. Could someone on the GAE team tell us if this limitation will be lifted for future paying customers? Also, is there a similar limitation on the size of a file upload (post)/download(get) request, given that the docs say request/response cycle cannot last longer than a few seconds?
