Comment on Using BitTorrent with Amazon S3

Comments

Could be cool to get better speeds, if they have multiple seeders for the bucket.

Honestly, I'm surprised this is built into S3, rather than CloudFront. Ideally, you want your object replicated to a bunch of edge nodes, which then all simultaneously join into a single swarm as seeds.

It predates CloudFront.

Pretty sure it was part of the initial, day one S3 release.

I would like to see that too.
