It would be quite interesting to mention which version of the program
you intend to package. Replace x.y.z with it, please.

Don't you know the name of the upstream author? How are you going to
deal with him for issues like bugs if you don't know his name/e-mail?
They're both on the main page of the website, and even if they
weren't, it would be your obligation to find out.

Actually, packages' descriptions should contain only information useful
for the user, that would lead him to installing the package or not. Not
really softwares' advertisements. "Buy my product, it's the best". If
you really believe it transfers files faster than other protocols, which
doesn't make much sense for me btw, you should briefly explain why.
Apart from that, I've taken a look at the website and felt like some
useful information was missing here.
