It's superficially good reasoning, but you have to take both latency and bandwidth into account. Latency-limited services (browsing, ssh) can be easily ruined by bandwidth hogging applications like P2P, but not vice versa. Depending on the average length of your circuit, you would have to run many (5-10) servers in order to mitigate the damage you're doing, and it would still have no impact on the worst case experience (which can completely turn off people on Tor: the user experience is one of unreliability). Clients periodically probing node weather and end users (turing test-verified) rating exit nodes and clients bulding circuits based on reputation would be good. -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org";>leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE
