I haven't been able to determine the exact file size though, but 2.5MBs seems to work in all cases. Unfortunately I don't know django well enough to determine if this problem exists outside of admin interface. I can't find where exactly it is looping like that either (if you can hint me of some way it would be greatly appreciated). :( I'm attaching a sample project that reproduces the problem. Inside you will find a bigfile.py that when executed creates a zero-filled bigfile.dat file. Run manage.py syncdb and manage.py runserver then navigate to http://localhost:8000/admin/main/myfile/add/ and try attaching bigfile.dat. On my machine it starts filling myfile subdirectory with multitudes of bigfile.dat copies. All of the files saved there are identical to bigfile.dat, so it must be saving it correctly, but then it aborts and tries saving it again. If the file is, for example, 1KB smaller then everything goes fine. I'm testing using trunk revision 8448. | nobody | snaury | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
