No clue. I wonder if there's some backlash from a anti-attack mechanism of some sort? There was a few attempted attacks against the Tor network, but it wasn't anything worth discussing. Check out the post on the 31st from blog.torproject.org. On Fri, Jan 2, 2015 at 11:25 AM, Sebastian Urbach wrot

Actually, on 2nd thought, you may not have to limit your bandwidth because Tor MAY handle this for you. Also, it's recommended to run your (presumably, 8) servers on different network addresses as well. If you are running a colocation rack this won't be difficult, but if you are doing this from yo
