Hi,

I am developing a small app that holds images and videos. Because Safari works with range requests for downloading video, I implemented that in the app's backend that is in Django. Running the development server, I get the videos really fast.
I deployed the app on a hosting platform, and now the downloading is awfully slow. It eventually loads the videos but it takes a long time, more than acceptable (I am yet to time a 1MB video file). I have no control over the webserver, only the Django backend.

Is there any thing I can do to speed up the downloads ? Maybe making Safari download bigger chunks ?

Thanks,
Regards
