I just noticed that the dowload site for the release candidate viewer appears to be ...amazonaws.com which is Amazon Web Services. Is this normal? Legitimate? Why don't our masters use their own servers?

Amazon's S3 service is very cost-effective for delivering a lot of download bandwidth, especially when the demand is variable. LL has been using it for quite a while.
