Hi Jeff, it's starting to make some more sense now. How big are the
normal attachments? At present, Couch encodes all attachments using
Base64 and inlines them in the JSON representation of the document
during replication. We'll fix this in the 0.9 release by taking
advantage of new support for multipart requests[1], but until then
replicating big attachments is iffy at best. Regards,
Adam
