Let's say I run an exit node, and I have a 10 Mb/s connection. I join up, run for a while, get qualified as a good exit, speed checks out at 10, and so on. All is well. But then let's say that, at the OS level, I rate limit one of the TCP ports I allow to exitto a much lower level - let's

[1] OB: bt traffic hurts the tor network.  You should not use bt with tor. All traffic 'hurts' the Tor network. You should not use your computer with Tor. Oh, wait, yeah, that'll never works :) I think it's time to stops negging BT. There are other equally bulk uses. And they'll all appear in

Lastly, get to know and love using Tor bridges: Bridges are not intended for use by the general population, but by people who truly need them and/or cannot reach Tor any other way. Also, AFAIK, the directory fingerprints in the source code more directly address the 'non-genuine Tor net' thing.
