TiVo (well my Series 1 at least!) can only handle ('scuse the pun 
) 256 open files.
There's a bug in the TWP file server (serve_file{}) which means it opens file handles but doesn't always close them again (e.g. when replying with a 304).
The fix for this is to modify libs/http.itcl as follows:
Code:
