Script to retrieve the (large) contents of a Rackspace cloud files container?

Question

I've decided that Cloud Files is getting too expensive for me now that I'm approaching 1TB of files, and it'll be silly when I get to 2-3TB within a year, so I'm going down the dedicated box route instead.

Can someone point me to a simple/bulletproof way to download 600,000 items from a container? I've searched around and found conflicting advice of the best way to do this, but figured I trust this community more than most random pages that google throws up!

Thanks

Answer 1

I've had good success with turbolift for rapidly uploading or downloading large batches of files.
