title: Django's performance on serving static files
body: <p>I am prototyping a Django web-app that will provide a static media files (PDFs, movies and so on) to the users. One of the features I am going to implement is a dynamic URLs. The point is to generate different URLs for each access attempt. When user will request a list of files I will generate links and save them to the DB. When some of these links will be clicked I will return required content and clear links from the DB.</p>
  
  <p>I suppose that serving media through the Django is far away from the best practices. Should it be avoided at all costs? Does it seems reasonable to access these files via non-Django app (Perl script or something)?</p>
