I don't really know, I've only looked at the apache configuration for
archive.mariadb.org.

But I would guess it's to prevent archive downloads affecting other
usages of this box, it's also the buildbot master and build slaves are
constantly up- and downloading packages.

I could agree that the current limitation is too low to be useful.
Perhaps archive.mariadb.org can be moved elsewhere and then the
bandwidth limit can be increased?

Daniel, what do you think?
