Here are additional highlights...
*************************
Django's static file view
*************************
`Django has a builtin static file view`_. It can stream files. As explained in
Django documentation, it is designed for development purposes. For production,
static files'd better be served by some optimized server.
`django.contrib.staticfiles provides a view to serve files`_. It is simple and
quite naive by design: it is meant for development, not for production.
See `Django ticket #2131`_: advanced file streaming is left to third-party
applications.
Django-downloadview can replace Django's builtin static file view:
* perform actions with Django when receiving download requests: check
permissions, generate files, gzip, logging, signals...
* delegate actual download to a reverse proxy for increased performance.
* disable optimization middlewares or decorators in development, if you want to
serve files with Django.
`django-downloadview` is such a third-party application.

django-private-files

`django-private-files`_ provides utilities for controlling access to static
files based on conditions you can specify within your Django application.
**********************
django-protected-files
**********************
`django-protected-files`_ is a Django application that lets you serve protected
static files via your frontend server after authorizing the user against
``django.contrib.auth``.
