S3 and the 5GB limit!

s3cmd as of this point still does not support mutli-part uploads to break the 5GB barrier.

But http://sprightlysoft.com/S3Upload/ does!

Now the problem with that is the Etag that used to be the md5 is NOT the md5 anymore once you start using multi-part uploads. It looks like it, but it's not because it has a dash in it.

So a slight modification of s3cmd

and bam you're back in business with s3Upload and s3cmd
