Uhm, my thought was to make Tor connections "unattractive" to file
downloaders, e.g., P2P, by limit connection speed via Tor. No-one using
email via Tor needs a fast connection, well, unless they send lots of
huge attachments.

I guess I was thinking along the lines of someone having to "assemble"
their P2P download out of 100-1000s of slow connections (if all Tor
connections) vs using 10 fast connections, thus discouraging such use.
P2P would be slower, yet others using the same relay *for
anonymity/privacy* would not be affected as much. I am a Tor newbie, so
probably need to understand better how Tor mixes up connections via
relays, etc.
