Hi All,
First of all the s3cmd tool is excellent and lets me sync a data set
easily like rsync to S3. Kudos!
The one thing I miss right now is a bandwidth throttle as I do with rsync,
which lets me not hurt the ISP/hosting company so much. I was in fact
just called by a hosting company as s3cmd was using up 40Mbs upstream and
didn't make them too happy (with 95% billing involved).
Anyway the fix was pretty simple for my use, and that was set default
throttle=.005
in S3.py:
def send_file(self, request, file, labels, throttle = .005, retries =
_max_retries):
In my case this had effective bandwidth at 760kB/sec or ~ 6Mbs which was
perfect for
my purposes (& the hosting company).
It would seem to me to be trivial to expose this default throttle setting
to the command line as "--throttle-pause" or some such. I believe this throttle
puts in a seconds pause between network sends.
Regards,
Josh
