Re: [tor-relays] Botnet issues and upgrading to 0.2.4.x

I see - so I'll probably still see the problem with a huge number of circuits being created after I've finished building 0.2.4. Is there any way to limit this, I'm guessing reducing the bandwidth wouldn't actually help? I guess I'll look into how much further I can overclock the CPU...

It does help! It helps clients a lot.

The change is that your relay now prioritizes requests from 0.2.4 clients,
and then spends whatever time it has left handling requests from 0.2.3
clients.
