Hi Philip,
thanks for the contribution. Your patch is too large to be integrated
just before s3cmd 1.0.0 comes out but I will definitely keep it in mind
for future.
I've got some big plans on parallel processing in s3cmd and parallel
transfer is indeed a part of that. Other possible improvem
I've just finished testing a patch to enable the transfer operations
to be threaded. This speeds up operations dramatically (4-8x in my
tests), especially when you have many small files. Hopefully this can
be integrated into the main release.
