Sorry about that, here are those details:
Ubuntu server 14.04.01
CPU: Intel Xenon X5660 @ 2.80Ghz (dual core)
RAM: 8GB
The last file i tested was 50MB (web2py should be able to handle up to
2GB?)
Here are the models and controllers:
db.define_table('mytable',
Field('file','upload'))
def upload_test():
form=SQLFORM(db.mytable).process()
return dict(form=form)
def download():
return response.download(request,db)
Also worth noting, it does NOT bog down the server if i download the file
through the admin panel over https:
https://.../appadmin/download/db/mytable.file.b8a8b0d7e3766c74.355f45465f3037323731355f4e4f544553203030312e746966.pdf
but it does become unresponsive (until finished) if i upload through admin
panel:
https://../appadmin/insert/db/mytable
Let me know if you need any other details. The server doesn't seem to be
maxing out on CPU on memory usage during the file transfer (watching top
processes in linux). Thanks for your quick response!
