I've started a tor server on a co-located server hosted down at some
giant co-location company with a direct OC3 to God. In other words
it's got plenty of bandwidth. I've limited it to 5 GB a day so we'll
see how it goes. As long as the process doesn't suck down too many
resources i'll leave it running.
Great. Let me know if it's threatening to suck down too many resources,
and what they are, and we'll try to give you tips on how to help that.
Usability for server operators is key for us.
Also, note that accountingmax 5 GB means that the server hibernates
after it reaches 5 GB of incoming bytes, or after it reaches 5 GB of
outgoing bytes. Some people are charged differently for their
bandwidth,
so you should pay attention to this. :)
If you're limiting to that little, and you have as much bandwidth as
you seem to, you might want to set "BandwidthRate 100 kb" in your
torrc,
to spread out your usefulness over more of each day. This will also
help
to keep the load on your server down during the times when Tor is
active.
