Django-downloadview makes it easy to serve files with Django:

* manage files with Django (permissions, filters, generation, ...);
* files are stored somewhere or generated somehow (local filesystem,
remote storage, memory...);
* django-downloadview helps to stream the files with very little
code;
* django-downloadview helps to improve performances with reverse
proxies, via mechanisms such as Nginx’s X-Accel or Apache’s
X-Sendfile.
