Re: [tor-relays] Minimum Relay/Bridge Bandwidth



I must have misread something. According to this discussion: https://tor.stackexchange.com/questions/423/what-are-good-explanations-for-relay-flags/2144#2144

100KBytes is considered a fast relay. 100KBytes = 800Kbits = 0.8Mbits

I think you misread the documentation. 2Mbps is a recommended minimum,
but a relay is considered fast if it has 1 Megabyte/sec and Megabit (Mb)
and Megabyte (MB) are not the same.

With 1Mbps, you have 125 Kilobytes/sec upload rate. I would say yes, run
a bridge instead. But let's see what other pepole say, eventually.
