Do you want me to shut down all four blutmagie exits for a couple of days and wait if other exits get more traffic?
If the idea is to run some experiments, I have a proposal that perhaps would have less adverse impact on the Tor network -- and hoperfully still yield useful data ...I believe torservers (Moritz's nodes) are runnning slighly less than 3/4 of what he believes their capacity should be. And I think he is running four instances of roughtly equal capacity. What if Moritz -- as an experiment -- converted one of his four nodes to a non-exit node. If his total traffic is roughly unchanged from what it is now, then I
believe that would indicate (relative) excess exit capacity is not the problem. If his total traffic increases significantly, then perhaps further investigation is warranted. Is that worth a try? Cheers, Jim
