  There is no limit imposed, either by the client or the server.

  We have seen some ISPs that blacklist occasional specific packets.
  This can be very frustrating to diagnose.  If you have the detailed
  logs from Package Manager, or could reproduce the error with the
  pkg(1) command line client, we could begin to diagnose the problem.

  When I'm updating a system, usually the biggest issue with performance
  is when I have a nearly full root pool--hunting for free blocks gets
  extremely slow.  Generally, we have not maxed out the network that
  serves opensolaris.org.  (By contrast, it gets maxed out when there's
  a Java-related launch with related content.)

  If you want to send me your details privately, like the output of

  pkg publisher opensolaris.org

  I can review the recent logs to see if there were any obvious
  failures.

  Cheers
