Are they being uploaded as native FTP or via a form submission from a page, 
in which case you can capture the upload size as a variable and use it to 
compare against.

There is a way with .zip files of ensuring their integrity and contents by 
parsing the file headers, I'm pretty sure this gives the file size in bytes 
/ embedded file names at creation point.
