A couple of users have reported timeouts uploading to Hackage. I've noticed upload times taking longer and longer of previous weeks.

Uploads to Hackage have been rather flaky since day one, in my experience. I have often had two or three timeouts or complete hangs before an attempt finally succeeds. Since Hackage is hosted on the same machine as darcs.haskell.org, which also has had numerous connection problems, I just assumed this was normal.

Shouldn't have any connection problems since we switched the routers 3 or 4 months ago. I wonder though how expensive the upload script is (it has to regenerate some things that are now quite big?) -- Don
