Depends on the interval between the uploads, we are talking about.

I would say, more smaller uploads are better. The worst thing
to sync are always the package trees. They seem to take ages,
and this is always a big chunk. Releases and ISOs are harmless.

I have no clue how to split up the package trees, though....
Maybe by letter and have them synced in a few consecutive days?
Like: first day packages starting with a-g, 2nd h-m, etc.
Of course the letters should be chosen to match the distribution
of packages, to have sets of roughly equal size.
It should not take longer than 5 days, I'd say.

Best regards,
 Daniel
