Well i tried 0.1.0.17 and it didn't seem to help me. The problem is when
i turn on directory mirroring i get so many directory requests that it 
saturates the connection. And since bandwidthrate doesn't check the out 
bound traffic which is what directory traffic mainly is it just uses all 
the bandwidth the connection has. The rest of the tor traffic hasn't 
been anywhere near the the bandwidth limit i have set.
