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.

I'm pretty sure it was faster when I was uploading a file but it wasn't anywhere near to my top upload speed so there is certainly some limit. I'll test the speed when I get access to the archlinux.org page because I don't want to fill community with orphans. Lukas
