I was reading this blog entry about parallel upload into S3 using boto. Near the end it suggests a few tools for downloading using multiple connections (axel, aria2, and lftp). How can I go about using these with S3? I don't know how to pass the authentication keys to Amazon to access the file. I can, however, make the file public temporarily, but this solution is non-optimal.

Generate a signed url using the AWS API and use that for your downloads. Only someone with the signed url (which expires in the given timeout) can download the file.
