Excellent suggestions everyone, I wouldn't have known about tying up the upload queue otherwise.
I may convert Richard's Perl to Python and upload using that with a delay--once I get to somewhere that has faster internet access, that is. :) Also, I hope OSM has a tag for "the worst road on planet Earth" because I think I found it yesterday from the Belize border to Tikal in Guatemala...
