I see this once in a while as well; I tend to use a lower volume size with S3 
to minimize the impact.

For a while (like a couple of weeks) I would see this happen *very* often, and 
transfers were slower than normal, to the point of more or less not being 
able to perform a full backup. This problem suddenly went away. The problem 
at this point also affected JungleDisk and the Ruby AWS library, so it was 
not a python/boto issue.

I never got to the bottom of that, other than to see some strangeness when 
tcpdumping. I was assuming something went on with S3 that somehow got 
triggered by me running it on this connection (I had no problem during this 
period, using duplicity on my colocation machine).
