The issue discussed in this thread is the fact that the server seems to have a bandwidth cap and thus uploads to it are restricted to ~500kB/s.
are you sure about this? Isn't it related to your connection, how many hubs it uses and the way it travels to the other side of the ocean? I remember that before I moved houses last December I got a reasonable upspeed (I think it was faster than 500 kB/s but I'm not sure), nowadays I most of the time don't even come close to 500 kB/s. I usually blame my connection for it. Well, you would have to ask one of the server guys, they probably know better, I'm not sure they read this list.

I'm not sure, no. Unfortunately, my home connection tops out at 50kB/s, but the ~500kB/s figure comes from older uploads I had done from pkgbuild.com, back when it was hosted on a Linode VPS. I remember that the speed remained constant throughout the upload process, so a 5Mb/s cap isn't unreasonable to assume. Maybe Loui or Dan [1] would know more. I'll try asking them if I catch them on IRC or Jabber (respectively ;p). [1] http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Sigurd_%28TU%29
