Let a web server handle the actual upload. Nginx is really good at this,
it can easily handle thousands of concurrent connections. Once all the
data is actually transferred to the server, only then does the request
get passed on to your Django app. A worker is not needed until that
point. This is the default behavior if you use a Nginx / Gunicorn (or
uWSGI) / Django stack.

You can also use the Nginx Upload Module, and your Django app will never
need to receive the actual data at all. Nginx will handle the upload,
put it in a location of your choosing, then hand the path on the server
off to your app. http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpUploadModule
