"What's the fastest & cheapest way to get data off Amazon's cloud services?"

We[1] may have a good answer for you ...

Let's assume you have terabytes of data, otherwise there's no difficulty, right ?

So, when you combine the HN readers discount pricing for 10TB datasets, which is 4c/GB/mo. with the fact that we support 's3cmd' in our environment:

  ssh user@rsync.net s3cmd get s3://rsync/mscdex.exe
... and the fact that we have no other charges (no transfer/usage/bandwidth charges) ...

... and the fact that we have 10gbps connectivity through he.net ...

It's possible that we would be a good fit.

You fire up a 10TB account for $400/mo and you issue s3cmd commands, over SSH, on your rsync.net account, which "pulls" the data from S3, at pretty much whatever speed Amazon can throw at us.[2]
