I'm waiting for some concrete price info in the UK before I decide whether to get it. Looks absolutely amazing though :D

Plugins / Re: Plugin servers / getting plugins to a system

There is actually one page that does have so few things on it - the caching page. For most of the options therein, you don't get any configuration other than to pick caching type.
(Also, welcome to Wedge :))

I've spent a depressing amount of time lurking as a guest just to follow Wedge's progress, and thought I'd throw in my £0.02 here.
While I agree that in principle downloads and uploads are two very different things and would seem to require two pages, I don't think the upload page has enough content to merit a separate page. I can't envision anything other than a single "choose file" dialog (but there may well be other possibilities I haven't thought of?).
As a result, is it really worth splitting it off into a page with one button and no options? It'd look somewhat odd to the average end user, given that no other admin page contains so little stuff (even the Languages->Settings page has some options).
What about rebranding "Download packages" as "Add a package", rather than splitting it up? I think that would cover both "upload" and "download" scenarios, with the uploads being handled by a button at the top and the downloads by the server browsing system below.
