Re: [tor-relays] current HSDir flag requirements

[abuse department <abuse@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Problem is that Tor is mostly used for web browsing and the amount of graphics and videos is increasing. You do not want to surf with >1 mbit at all and maybe there are two users on this relay so we have >0.5 mbit …. 

If a first time user is surfing over Tor with 1 mbit he will uninstall it ...

I second this. We are in 2021 and a relay is considered fast if it is above 100KB/s...? I don’t think a later dialup service should be considered a fast relay.

100KB/s is about 800Kb/s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data-rate_units). I envy the dial up modems you had :)

I agree it is not fast, but is it "fast enough" for Tor's purpose? The Fast flag is (was?) also described as "the router is suitable for high-bandwidth circuits".

If I used Tor for high bandwidth stuff I'd hate to get a relay like that in my circuit. Especially if it also acts as a HSDir provider.
