I don't see why uploaded and downloaded files should be treated differently, 
however.

Your first point was about disk usage. Yes, storing alternate locations 
consumes a little disk space. But storing altlocs for an uploaded file 
doesn't take more disk space than the corresponding information for a 
downloaded file. I don't see a difference here.

Your second point was about validity of the altlocs. Here again, I cannot see 
a difference between uploaded and downloaded files. Of course, an uploaded 
file location is not likely to be valid over a long time. But neither are the 
altlocs of a downloaded file. That's why older entries of the mesh are to be 
deleted. I can't see the difference between uploaded an downloaded files in 
this point.
