You do need to say what it is now, and what it should be so that a patch
can be inferred. :-) I don't know my way around the code, and don't have
time at the moment to fix that, but if you can be specific, _Why may say
"Oh, they're only asking for *this*...". Or tell us that this is nontrivial
and we'll have to wait.

I don't know about this at all. There was some stuff about streaming
on Redhanded, but I think it was downloads, so.... Does S3 assume a
perfect, fast internet, or does it have another part of the API which
would allow you to split the file into chunks, so that when your dialup
connection falls over, or a passing train scatters your wireless connection
to smithereens, or,... you can still send the whole file eventually?
