I'm not yet familiar with the protocol. My general feeling is that the
timeout tends to happen after a period of time such that it *may* be
consistent with approximately the entire file having being transfered.

For example I believe the retries happen more frequently on small
duplicity volume sizes than on large ones.

What are the chances that there is some length calculation that is
off-by-a-constant or off-by-a-factor, causing a mismatch between the
actual amount of data sent and the amount of data expected by the s3
server? I would not be surprised if overrunning expectation would be
handled by closing the connection.
