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
