ClickOnce and Amazon S3

Question

Hi, I testing the deployment of my project using clickonce. Boy was I in for a surprise. I am using quite a few 3 party dlls and my clickonce payload is 24MB. This obviously takes a while to get down to my users, especially those on VPN.

Has anyone used clickonce with Amazon S3? Can this even be done? I am thinking on publishing my deployment to such a service so my users can get a faster download.

You can host your ClickOnce app anywhere that can serve the files over HTTP, including, I believe, Amazon's CloudFront service. Wherever you publish in the Internet, though, you should digitally sign your application, so users can be certain who published it, and to prevent tampering.
