Hi I have been working on a similar project. The initial problem is that Django loads large files into RAM by default, which will bring down your server if you try and upload large files. There is a patch which allows file to be streamed to disk in chunks. I am using this patch successfully and have managed to upload files of 100Mb + to a server running Django and Apache. The patch is here: http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/2070 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
