I thought mass-uploads were discouraged, and that the transfers were
one key at a time.

Bps. For instance, since Thor is only semi-official at the office
I've told our firewall to limit the throughput to something like
64kbps on the SKS ports. If it got hammered by a large transfer
while uncapped, one of our in-house busybody PHBs would make noise.
I suppose that since sks has to do some processing on inbound keys, a
keys/sec limit might not be a bad idea either. Of course I haven't
the time or experience to examine/add such things, so I can't do much
more than make suggestions for now. :)
Ah, that's why my message never showed up in the list. I sent it to
you [Chris] directly. Oops.
