s3cmd failed too many times

I used to be a happy s3cmd user. However recently when I try to transfer a large zip file (~7Gig) to Amazon S3, I am getting this error:

$> s3cmd put thefile.tgz s3://thebucket/thefile.tgz

....
  20480 of 7563176329     0% in    1s    14.97 kB/s  failed
WARNING: Upload failed: /thefile.tgz ([Errno 32] Broken pipe)

thefile.tgz -> s3://thebucket/thefile.tgz  [1 of 1]

ERROR: Upload of 'thefile.tgz' failed too many times. Skipping that file.

I am using the latest s3cmd on Ubuntu.

Why is it so? and how can I solve it? If it is unresolvable, what alternative tool can I use?

s3cmd 1.0.0 does not support multi-part yet. I tried 1.1.0-beta and it works just fine. You can read about the new features here: http://s3tools.org/s3cmd-110b2-released
