Has to do with django server file size limit

this seems a browser quirk. I can duplicate the issue with Chrome, but there is no issue on FireFox.
Maybe let's revisit this issue after kolibri gets its production server running.

Could you clarify what's going on here, and what it has to do with file size limits? Also, I can't think of how this could be influenced by browser type...

here's the page mentioned an issue might relate to what we deal with here https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/4444

"According to many sources the 'Broken Pipe' is a normal browser quirk. For example, the browser reads from the socket and then decides that the image it's been reading apparently didn't change. The browser now this (forcefully) closes the connection because it does not need more data. The other end of this socket (the python runserver) now raises a socket exception telling the program that the client 'Broke the socket pipe'."

I still don't understand the relationship between where the files are being saved and a "broken pipe" error. As this comment notes, the "broken pipe" error isn't really an error, but happens "whenever your browser closes the connection while the dev server is still busy sending data. The best we could is to have a more explicit error message."

Let's sit down and take a look at this tomorrow.

Problem with development server, might not be a problem when deployed
