Comment:

 `upload_to` is used as described here:
 
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/fields/#django.db.models.FileField.upload_to

 That does not include appending `MEDIA_URL` to the name. Rather,
 `MEDIA_ROOT` is prepended to the `upload_to` value. This does work. If you
 are having trouble in this area the django-users mailing list or #django
 IRC channel would be a better place to ask for guidance, since really the
 basics of uploading files are really not broken in 1.2. When describing
 your problem it would be best to include all relevant settings
 (`MEDIA_ROOT` and `MEDIA_URL`) and more description of what exactly the
 problem you are observing is.
