I couldn't reproduce this behavior with Firefox. This is happening with the default options for the runserver of django.contrib.staticfiles. I figured this probably had to do with either a timeout or the size of the request queue, possibly both. I tried setting request_queue_size to 10 (default is 5) as demonstrated in the attached file and it completely solve the issue. I the tried setting it to 1 and it makes the issue systematic. I tried to find how many concurrent requests chrome does and found the following: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=12066 http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=44491 Unless I'm missing something, Chrome actually use less concurrent requests than Firefox. A value of 10 for request_queue_size does seem to solve my problem completely, but I wouldn't know what should be the actual best value."
