[S3tools-general] Patch to enable parallel get, put and sync operations

[Philip C. <pco...@gm...>]

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.

You can find the patch at
http://github.com/pcorliss/s3cmd-modification/blob/master/patch.parallel.20100827_1954

Or you can find a forked version with the patch already applied at

Thanks,
