That's roughly what I remember the upload limit being.

Encoding commonly adds 25% (twentyfive) size, thus the actual file size
limit is 20% (twenty) less than the maximum permitted, thus for 5 MB the
uploadable filesize is 4 MB.

Actually, I believe it adds 33% and so to get the real size, subtract 25%.
The way uucode and similar codings work is to take 3 characters
(bytes). Write them in binary next to each other - you have 24 bits.
Partition into 4 (6 bits each). Get the character represented by each of
those 6 bits (some shifting may be necessary) to get 4 bytes.
So every set of 3 bytes becomes 4 bytes.

Which would be ... 25% increase? :-)
Plus extra newlines at the end of each line. Lines are usually 72 characters
long. (Thank you for 80-character punched cards, IBM!)
