I was on the phone with my ISP today, and as an aside, the engineer
mentioned that my 768k upstream was pegged at 105% capacity. I was
surprised, and a little freaked out, since nothing should be
generating that much traffic.
I killed tor while we were on the phone, and he confirmed that almost
all traffic on the link dissapeared. I am quite concerned, because I
have the following statements in my torrc:
BandwidthRate 64 KB
BandwidthBurst 128 KB
from these settings I expect that tor should never be using the
majority of my available bandwidth- but it seems it is.
Am I missing something here, or has the ratelimiting code been quietly
broken?
thanks,
matto
