Re: File sharing service on Django?

Hi Artem,

I don't know about it specifically but I have one possible solution.
That may not be what you want and I'd like to hear critique on it:

Have a model with fields id (or url or slug), status and filename (and
more if you wish).
This could be filled with: id=42, status=no_downloads_yet,
filename="pictures.zip"
Create urls that point to a view. Like this: www.mypage.foo/download/42
A view would be called in which the status is tested and if
appropriate the file is returned. The status should then be changed.
(Shortcoming: I don't know off-hand how to test whether a download was
completed or dropped or the like.)

Comments welcome!

Best regards,
Christoph
