Excerpts from Sven-Hendrik Haase's message of 2010-09-10 01:27:39 +0200:
Whenever I try uploading a reasonably large package to aur.archlinux.org, my average speed is around 500KB/s. This appears to be an artificial limitation since a server would have at least 10/10MBits uplink. I therefore request the speed limit to be disabled in order to be able to upload large packages with all available bandwidth to increase productivity.
Or is there a reason for the limit?
-- Sven-Hendrik
Maybe I misunderstand something here, but my average upload to AUR is 600 Bytes, so the speed really doesn't matter. What do you upload there? -- Philipp

Binary packages like sage-mathematics (over a GiB for both architectures).
Looks like my message was misunderstood. I was referring to binary packages that get uploaded to [community]. These uploads are handled by the aur.archlinux.org server, which also happens to host the AUR. However, the AUR is not involved in this process, as uploads to [community] are done via SSH.
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. Ronald
