At least, that's my take right now. I don't really have any idea how much there is to upload though, or how long it takes. I haven't had any network issues that resulted from it, but my uplink speed is several orders of magnitude higher than 384Kbps.

Can't entirely recall. There's not a huge amount to it though. Its a fairly minimal el6 install, add plague, koji and mock, and configure them (along with the necessary firewall holes for the plague and koji client daemons).
