I think the tarball is produced on the fly, so it isn't the bandwidth that limits the speed, it's the CPU processing resources needed to xz-compress the files. Try the same with .tar.gz, and you will see quite a different speed. > The 60s limit needs to be much longer; I doubt that it should be any > less than ten minutes. No, I think 3 min should be enough. But I don't really understand why there has to be a limit.
