The Tor documentation states that 20k/sec each way is the minimum
requirement for a Tor server. If that documentation is wrong, and lower
bandwidth would still be useful, I'd be happy to run a server.

I could definitely offer 10k, perhaps 15k. I think it'd be useful if Tor
would be happy with 5k, since that will make running Tor servers on the
increasingly popular (in the UK) 128kbit upstreams feasible.
