Sounds interesting, thanks for the info! I might provide the user both a physical storage (at my place) and the amazon s3. This way the user will be able to use the local one for 90% of his needs, integrated in the web interface he alredy knows and uses everyday (or maybe a knowledgtree installation would be even better), and a link for "fast downloads", near every file that will connect directly to the amazon server. If I set up a script to keep in sync my local storage and the amazon one, the user will be able to reduce the costs (only download from amazon when really needed), and will not have to bother learning a new interface.
