Re: [tor-relays] A question about transfer - any advice?



Well, to spread out 1TB over a month, 1,000,000÷30 days÷24 hours÷60 minutes÷60 seconds÷2 for in/out x 8 to convert to bits equals...

1.54 Mbps, give or take. It's not exact math since a byte is 1024 instead of 1000. Either way, 1TB gets used pretty quickly. My exit transfers 1TB in just a few hours!

I'm running a Tor relay and everything is going great so far, but since I'm hosting on a commercial VPS, I have limited transfer (1 TB per month, overage: $0.02/GB). As such, I've set accounting to 10 GB per day so I'll at most use 620 GB in any given month and don't have to pay any overage costs.

Q1: can I increase this limit without paying extra?

I'm seeing that this 10 GB is hit very quickly, today within 9 hours.

Q2: how can I adjust the bandwidth limit (80 Mb/s, burst 160 Mb/s) so that this 10 GB is more spread out over the day? Would it help to make this, say, 20 or 40 Mb/s?

Thanks!

Ps: if I haven't supplied sufficient details, please feel free to ask
