I think a torrent would be better. There will probably be lots of interest in this, so S3 can get expensive.

Useful tip, if you add "?torrent" to the end of the url for something stored in S3, you get a torrent. I think this only works for files < 5GB though.

Any idea of the reason for the size limit? That's a pretty weird limit to put on a torrent feature.

Reducing the incentive to host uncompressed DVDs / BluRay?

Its an S3 torrent endpoint architectural limitation.

S3 can serve its contents through bittorrent as well, so you only really need to serve up 1 copy of the file(realistically, it will end up being a bit more than that if we are dealing with good internet citizens)
