Won't work once you get more than 99,999,999 uploads
Reported by Joe Van Dyk | September 25th, 2007 @ 12:43 AM
Is that a problem?
Reason:
irb(main):012:0> ("%08d" % 99999999).scan(/..../)
=> ["9999", "9999"]
# Works fine
irb(main):013:0> ("%08d" % 100000001).scan(/..../)
=> ["1000", "0000"]
# Hey, where'd that last one go?

So I'd recommend using "%012d". That would allow you to have a trillion uploads, right? Unfortunately, this will break existing code. You'd need a script to copy all the files to the appropriate place.
Maybe worry about it once you get to that level? :-)

Although, you'd likely run into other problems once you got to that level. at 100KB per upload, 99 million uploads would be 1000 terabytes.
Perhaps I won't worry about yet.
