Re: [tor-relays] is comcast throttling relays?

I think you guys are right, thanks. The question I have now however is, should I set my RelayBandwidth limit to 250k? Currently the advertised bandwidth is 1MB/s, which doesn't see right. Thanks, Steve > Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2014 13:02:51 +0100 > From: a.k...@gmx.de > To: tor-relays@lists.torproj

Roger, You've confirmed my thoughts. I suspected that some people were bulk scanning relays/exits looking for open proxies too which is why I was curious if any other operators were seeing this. Thus far today I've got 175,000 connection attempts from 220 distinct IP addresses. I think I'll be sen
