I have been trying to find a better command line tool for duplicating buckets than s3cmd. s3cmd can duplicate buckets without having to download and upload each file. The command I normally run to duplicate buckets using s3cmd is:

s3cmd cp -r --acl-public s3://bucket1 s3://bucket2

This works, but it is very slow as copies each file via the API one at a time. If s3cmd could run in parallel mode, I'd be very happy.

Are there other options available as a command line tools or code that people use to duplicate buckets that are faster than s3cmd?

Just wondering if there is good alternative to Amazon's S3 service? I like S3 but the bandwidth cost is high. I looked at CouldFiles from Rackspace but the cost is even higher.
