I upgraded my version of Discourse yesterday to include the fixes for S3. However, when it creates the URL, it erroneously points to `<bucket-name>.s3-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/path/to/file`. Since `us-east-1` is the “US Standard Region”, you don’t need to actually put the region in the URL. Instead, it should be `<bucket-name>.s3.amazonaws.com/path/to/file`

See [this stack overflow post](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26604977/url-for-public-amazon-s3-bucket).
