Note

This operation is not supported by directory buckets.

Returns torrent files from a bucket. BitTorrent can save you bandwidth when you're distributing large files.

Note

You can get torrent only for objects that are less than 5 GB in size, and that are not encrypted using server-side encryption with a customer-provided encryption key.

To use GET, you must have READ access to the object.

This functionality is not supported for Amazon S3 on Outposts.
