At the current time ftp-master is:

/dev/twed0s1h                     311027802 270670054  15475524    95%    /ftpmaster

We're pretty close to the limit here (I came within a few MB of
filling it up the other day), so it may be that in the near future it
will have to expand.  Someone will let you know when that's planned,
though.

BTW, I upload updates to one or more of the
packages-*-{stable,current} directories every day or two, i.e. only
adding new packages and those that changed in the new build, and
removing old ones while leaving unchanged packages untouched.  So
there's pretty much always new stuff to download on whatever schedule
you can handle.
