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.

That is awesome. Thank for the tip.
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.
