In many instances, Amazon 3S file server is used to upload and store large files that exceed the memory limits of the site server. If the user attempts to download one of those large file, the download fails because (based on my understanding of how this all works) TDF forces the file to through Drupal file_transfer.
I'd like to improve this by adding an option to the formatter that allows setting the file to download from the Amazon S3 server, then use that path for the download instead of file_transfer.
Attached is a patch that is working on my development site. Feedback is welcome, as this is my very first, totally on my own patch.
