Since disks are so cheap it turns out to be cheaper to just upload the file to a big disk and then use a fast web server to serve the files.
The problem with this, I think, is that you won't get the benefits of no single point of failure (unless you use an expensive RAID array or SAN setup). Also, if you have app servers on multiple machines, you would have to setup NFS or something if you have anything else than the file to be added through the form (i.e. you can't send the entire form to a process dedicated just for file uploads). So I guess something like a BackgrounDRB process running the Robot Co-Op's Mogile library might be the way to go.
