Serving dynamically generated ZIP archives in Django
Can't you just write a link to a "zip server" or whatnot?  Why does the zip archive itself need to be served from Django?  A 90's era CGI script to generate a zip and spit it to stdout is really all that's required here, at least as far as I can see.
How to serve users a dynamically generated ZIP archive in Django?
I'm making a site, where users can choose any combination of available books and download them as ZIP archive. I'm worried that generating such archives for each request would slow my server down to a crawl. I have also heard that Django doesn't currently have a good solution for serving dynamically generated files.
