This is a really good idea if your assumptions are true because much of the network lag is caused by other services. Comrade Ringo Kamens

Hi, Am I right in thinking that most people use Tor for web browsing, over ports 80 and 443? And am I right in thinking that most of tors bandwidth is used up by a minority of users, using services that require much higher amounts of bandwidth, such as ptp traffic? These are just guesses, but I couldn't find any data about how much traffic Tor is pushing over various ports, and would appreciate being pointed in the direction of it if it exists! If I am right, wouldn't the majority of the tor user base be better served if a collection of exit nodes only exited port 80 and 443 traffic? Does that have privacy implications? I initially thought I should configure up my node to exit all traffic except for certain ports, but after giving it more thought, it seemed the wider network would be better off having more available http/https traffic.
