I currently run one on a rented VPS which shovels around 700-750 Meg per month. The fastest I have run only gave 1Gig of traffic per month. I currently don't allow exit (but have in the past) following a series of hassles from my (otherwise quite accomodating) ISP who was getting flak about abuse. I guess I am typical of the low usage "domestic" type user who got fed up with the impact on his ADSL line of running Tor locally so moved it to a cheap VPS. I tunnel out to that VPS over SSH when I use Tor and find that a much better way of accessing the network. I choose to fund a Tor node because I am a Tor user and I believe in giving something back to the Tor community by way of thanks. I do not want, nor do I need, funding for that.
