My main complaint with s3cmd is you can't easily throttle it, and on a busy machine its fast speeds can cause issues.

  Good point. I guess in the past I have spun up a micro instance to run it, so I didn't have to run my S3 operations using one of my main production servers, and hence I didn't run into any problems with its unthrottled speed.

  Perhaps lowering its priority would help. nice s3cmd ...

  Have you tried trickle[1]? It can limit the bandwidth of most programs I've tried it on. trickle -u 10 -d 20 ncftp This runs ncftp capped at 10 KB/s up, 20 KB/s down. [1] http://monkey.org/~marius/pages/?page=trickle http://monkey.org/~marius/pages/?page=trickle
