FYI: I would like to run a tor server, but there is no way to limit the number of connections. Also my tor.log gets filled with "Failing because we have 991 connections already. Please raise your ulimit -n." which is crap I do not care to see.
Development REALLY needs to implement a connection limit so that tor can be configured to be less a resource pig. While there is an overabundance of bandwidth here, the host computer simply cannot handle more than 100 simultaneous connections because it has so little RAM and a "low horsepower" CPU. If that ever happens, you might want to notify me (off list because I won't still be subscribed), at which time I'll turn the server back on. Note that bandwith limiting is not effective, either via htb or htb + configuration options in torrc. -- gypsy at iswest dot com
