Description
I just did apt-get upgrade and Keybase took 28 minutes to download, and I have a nice 40MB line here.
I imagine your apt repo host could use some bandwidth upgrade (have you considered dumping it on an S3 bucket?), but there's also the question of how it reaches nearly 73Mb in size. that's almost twice the size of the Firefox deb, and updates more often.
Any way of either downsizing it, or breaking it up to modules with dependencies so update deltas are more sensible in size?
