Any particular reason to use RPC here?
This will likely be a slow process and not really what I expect
to see RPCs being used for. Normally I'd expect to send a url
to the server and it would then fetch the file using ftp or similar.

Tying up an XML-RPC server and blocking the sending side
for a long time(10-30s?) is a risky procedure, especially given the
fragile nature of XML-RPC (compared to traditional techniques,
or even to SOAP)

Just a thought,
