Re: File sharing service on Django?

Well, that's what I intended to do - a least I would know a file is
started to download.
Problem is - way of file transfer. I got something like:

response = HttpResponse(open('/way/to/file/test.rar'),
mimetype='application/x-rar-compressed')
response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment;
filename=archive.rar'
return response

and it works fine on my desktop, but I don't know how it will go on
server with large files.
