Not quite exactly what you've asked for, but this is good:

Thanks for the reminder on that, I'd forgotten about it although I was pretty impressed when I first found it way back when. That might work though it'd still be ideal to be able to use rsync et al to interface.
rsync.net
I've lacked into Rackspace's Cloud Files and I like their elastic space, but it looks like I can't use rsync or normal tools to interact with it, and that it also may force versioning.
No VPSes really offer enough disk space, and it'd be kind of expensive to buy redundant VPSes; part of the reason I want to use something like Dropbox but just want a simple rsync is because Dropbox et al are then responsible to make sure that the backup devices don't die, or to restore the backups from backup in case they do die.
I've tried to check in at #dropbox but found it dead every time.
Anyone have any ideas here? All help appreciated.
