[galaxy-user] Uploading speed question

I am uploading a file to the Main Galaxy and ... the speed as shown by FileZilla is 180KB/sec. I know from other work that my internet connection has 2MB/sec and usually does not go lower than 1 MB/sec. Is that normal, or is there a problem, and where is it, my system or Main? What should the speed be?   Also, does anybody have experience with uploading to a Galaxy cloud instance? What's the speed there?   ;-) does Main accept mailed-in hard drives?  ;-) Gerald
