 The logs are 140MB currently, and not much of a problem.

 As far as I know, there are two versions of GetTor on the host. One is the
 productive deployed GetTor, the other is a version for testing that is
 necessary. Where is the third version located? We should purge it.

 The problem really was the /dist/ dir getting larger and larger over the
 past time. Syncing takes ages (even though both host seem to be running on
 the same hardware), and disk space was getting low. If the hosts are on
 the same machine, maybe we could magically mount or link /dist/ into
 GetTor's file system somehow?

 If we can get rid of the 9GB bridge descs and /dist/ is kept clean, we can
 probably stay on that host. Thanks for freeing /dist/ for now.
