Hmm, I recall having this kind of trouble way back when S3 was still in beta, but haven't seen it since. I assumed it was due to a bug on the Amazon side. The S3 device does not begin sending data until it has a full block available, and then sends that block as quickly as the network will permit, so this sort of timeout cannot be caused by slowness on the client or anything like that. Have you modified your blocksize from the default 10M? Is there some reason that a TCP connection to Amazon would stall out for more than 60 seconds? Can you upload multi-megabyte files to S3 using other utilities (e.g., JetS3t)? Dustin -- Storage Software Engineer http://www.zmanda.com
