Hi all, Okay I just registered my TOR server (nickname: Anti1984, it's running on my home PC). However, I'm still confused about something: When I have the Dirport enabled, the server consumes sometimes the max upload bandwith I have which affects VoIP for example. From what I read in the documentation, "BandwidthRate" only limits the incoming traffic so apparently I can't limit the upload bandwith for the server (?) (FAQ Wiki 5.17 quote " It only looks at incoming bytes, not outgoing so maybe you should disable DirPort."). Okay, so I disable my DirPort (and in general, I don't know how much bandwith a server should have/offer the least for enabling the Dirport) and now I hardly see any traffic (if any, it's less than 2 kb/s or so) and the Tor Network Status website shows my server with something between 2000 and 6000 bytes/s only.
First I thought it's because TOR will route the users to faster servers first and only relying on the slower ones if necessary. But then I thought "browsing with TOR is significantly slower, that might or might not mean there is are more users than bandwith available". In case that's true, then TOR would have to use my server for routing, too. Apparently, this might not be the case. So anything I oversaw in the documentation?
