S3Hub: S3 Client for Mac OS X
Monday, June 16th, 2008I’ve been looking for an Amazon S3 client for the Mac for awhile, that had a couple key features that seem to be missing from apps like Cyberduck or Transmit. Mostly I wanted a better way to manage permissions and make it easier to share files with my friends, and I needed something to throttle my bandwidth so I can leave beefier transfers running without nuking my Gears of War latency.

And, also, its an excuse to do some Cocoa again now that Objective-C 2.0 is out. Garbage collection, declarative properties, and fast enumeration help remove a lot of cruft and let you focus more on making things work. Also there are alot of new and really nice API’s in Leopard like NSOperationQueue.
A major feature I don’t have yet is sync’ing (syncing is hard); but I think that should come in the next version hopefully. I have some ideas about generating rss feeds or some way to track new files which I think could be really useful. If you have any ideas or find any bugs, leave a post on the group.
