bzr push so slow... why?

[Hendy Irawan]

I deleted the branch from Launchpad (not something that I'd do on  a 
daily basis, I guess...)

And tried re-pushing again..

rainbow at luther [~/tmp/bukuruby_bzr]# ~/bzr_dev/bzr-0.90/bzr push 
sftp://ceefour@bazaar.launchpad.net/~ruby-id/bukuruby/trunk 
--create-prefix -v

[========================================                                          
] Fetch phase 1/4

It has been like this for about half an hour already......... I wonder 
why???

Note that it is running from a typical bandwidth web hosting... Meaning 
that it should be able to transfer files at least 200 KB/s.

But my repository is only 25 MB !! How can it be so slow? (even then, 
I'm still only *hoping* that it will finally succeed)

Any advice would be highly appreciated.
