Django File upload size limit

Question

I have a form in my django app where users can upload files.
How can i set a limit to the uploaded file size so that if a user uploads a file larger than my limit the form won't be valid and it will throw an error?

Answer 1

Take a look at this snippet: http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/1303/

Answer 2

I believe that django form receives file only after it was uploaded completely.That's why if somebody uploads 2Gb file, you're much better off with web-server checking for size on-the-fly.
