My mistake, 2Mbits does mean 250 KBytes. I get confused when
converting bits/bytes. Sorry for that confusion. I found where my numbers came from: https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-relay-debian.html.en "If you have at least 250 kilobytes/s each way, please help out Tor by configuring your Tor to be a relay too." This is where I understood 250KBytes to be a suggested minimum, which is still slightly confusing since 100KBytes is the minimum for a "fast" relay flag. On 04/07/2016 01:25 PM, Michael

Actually, I don't think you'll get much traffic at all with that slow of a relay, especially since the recommended upload speed is 2Mbps (1600kBytes/s).No, 2Mbps are 250KBps, 2 Megabit = 250 Kilobyte (as 8 Megabit are 1 Megabyte). Recommended minimum upload speed to run a relay is 100Kilobyte/s, so 1Mbps is already enough to run a relay. [1] To be a relay, your bandwidth has to be at least 250KB/s.
