Steps to reproduce

uploading file with CloudinaryField(resource_type="video") uploads are taking forever and they are causing my server (with a nginx timeout of 300) to crash. This never used to happen

i have tried all sorts of server configs to no avail, only conclusion I can come up with is something in this library changed and the chunk sizes or something isnt working. Even uploading a 20mb file crashes.. when i used to be able to upload 500mb + with same server configs
