Please don't make such assertions. People did check the torrc, and found nothing to be wrong with it. For all I know and can tell from the source, Tor's Burst settings indeed limit the amount of traffic you can send in a single second. Setting it to higher than your line speed doesn't help anything, and the bucket gets refilled to the burst anyway. This is a comment from src/or/or.h: > uint64_t BandwidthRate; /**< How much bandwidth, on average, are we willing > * to use in a second? */ > uint64_t BandwidthBurst; /**< How much bandwidth, at maximum, are we willing > * to use in a second? */ Now, it's entirely possible I'm missing something big here; or that the code changed and now does something different; or that it used to do something different, etc. Andreas, can you please explain more?
