You can fetch a single WARC file directly like say:

s3://aws-publicdatasets/common-crawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368704392896/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516113952-00058-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz

They are around 850 MB each.

The text extracts and metadata files are generated off individual WARC files, so it is pretty easy to get the corresponding sets of files. For the above it would be:

s3://aws-publicdatasets/common-crawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368704392896/wat/CC-MAIN-20130516113952-00058-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.wat.gz

s3://aws-publicdatasets/common-crawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368704392896/wet/CC-MAIN-20130516113952-00058-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.wet.gz

Is there any way to get incrementals? It would be extremely valuable is to get the pages that were added/changed/deleted each day. Some kind of a daily feed of a more limited size.

  s3cmd ls s3://aws-publicdatasets/common-crawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/
That should get you about 90% on your way.
