Title: S3 Host/Region 

I experimented some issues with sync_media due to unhandle boto AWS region/zone.
When I sync my media folder, sometimes I've received an Broken Pipe Exception.

I solve the problem adding an optional settings, AWS_S3_HOST. In my case, setting AWS_S3_HOST='s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com', the sync goes quickly and without problems.
