Indeed, the download server is rate-limited in the outgoing direction,
so we can still upload at full speed, but download is limited.

I removed the manual 100 Mbit/s limit because it was not really helping.

One (relatively) quick way to solve this is to stop serving public rsync
to everybody, see the other thread I started.

Paul, if you can reach out to Netcup to know if they can increase the
traffic limit to have more margin, that would be great.  I think we can
pay for the service, it's essential and this level of traffic can cost
quite some money.
