Comment(by mikeperry):

 Personally I want to say that I've really never liked this option. We
 should make it as light as possible, because people do send important yet
 big files over Tor, such as protest video or leaked surveillance video. I
 think 5Mbyte is waay to small for this.

 If our goal is to stop bittorrent users, we can probably get away with
 more like 100Mbyte and 50Kb/sec. We should also take the smaller value
 from the bw authorities. We should at least test higher values when trying
 to make a final decision on what to actually deploy.
