Abstract
A network storage service is disclosed that is configured to provide functionality for enabling individual chunks of an object to be downloaded from the storage service while other chunks of the same object are being uploaded to the storage service. The storage service maintains status data for uploads of storage objects identifying chunks that have completed uploading, chunks that are currently uploading, and chunks that are pending upload. The storage service exposes the status data to client computing devices such as, for instance, via a network services application programming interface. The client computing devices can utilize the status data to download chunks of an object as soon as the chunks have been completely uploaded to the storage service. The storage service can be accessed by way of a content distribution network point of presence in some configurations.
