[Twisted-Python] hardcoded SIZE_LIMIT

I asked the same thing a while back.
Actually from the way Twisted is designed it's a good thing to have the size 
limited. If you transfer large files in a return 
like in

x=file(large_file)
return x.read()

you might end up with a pretty sluggish twisted, specially in a heavy multi 
user environment. I switched to use the pager, which allows twisted to 
transfer the file at it's own pace, and allows you to put in a preogress 
dialog pretty easily since there is a callback on the chunks transmitted.
Go the extra mile to understand the pager - it's worth it in the long run.
