Hello.

I noticed, that it's somewhat slow to upload stuff to s3. In a self developped program in Python, I'm uploading the contents in many parallel threads. This speeds up the whole upload process A LOT.

But uploading data with s3sync is very slow, as it uploads one file at a time only.

Would it be possible to enhance a future version of s3 so, that it does upload in many threads at once? This would make the sync process so much faster.

Thanks a lot,
Alexander

I have nothing against that idea.  It should be possible to get a fixed number of worker threads going instead of having the comparator wait on one thing at a time.

i have waited 10 days for my folder to transfer to s3sync

* s3 seems to have a cap on a single file upload speed (after googling for "s3 slow")

* s3sync tries to sync the same file it's working on in a separate process, so more control of a single directory parallel process doesn't work as-is
* If there was an INCLUDE for s3sync I could specify a few regexps and break the sync up


i am now shifting my dev time (from my actual task at hand) to making this faster by writing a script that uses s3cmd and my own file tree compare

p.s. I'm transferring about 6,000 FLAC files from a single directory on a remote fedora 4 box

peace,
g
