+django-queued-storage
+=================
+
+This is a storage backend that allows you specify a local and a remote storage backend. 
+It will upload locally and then queue up the transfer to your remote backend. If any 
+request for the file occur before the file gets to the remote backend your local backend
+will be used. Once the file has been successfully transferred to the remote backend all
+request for the file will use the remote backend.
+
+This backend requires celery, which is used for the queuing.
+
+Usage
+----------------------------
+
+1. Make sure celery is installed and running http://ask.github.com/celery/introduction.html
+
+2. Make sure you have a cache backend set up.
+
+4. Add the backend to the storage argument to a FileField
+		
+		image = ImageField(storage=QueuedRemoteStorage(local='django.core.files.storage.FileSystemStorage',
+		                   remote='backends.s3boto.S3BotoStorage'), upload_to='uploads')
