Download limit warning #134

Kippo should warn the user when running Kippo and no download limit for wget files are set. I see a few hammered honeypots caused by this false configured honeypot. Attacker loads tons of data to the honeypot and Kippo struggles over this (maybe also the system).

So there should be a warning when download_limit_size is set to 0. Although it should not be the standard value due the fact that the system's filesystem can be overloaded with that.

Good idea, although kippo data directory should not be kept on the same partition with other important data :)

Yep, this should be known. I run it in VM or on low cost VPS which are easy to reinstall. But some are missing the option or where to run it.
