New description: Tor reads bandwidth files when it's voting, around 50 minutes past every hour, and 20 minutes past hours when the consensus has failed. We should recommend that authority operators generate and transfer bandwidth files ~~between 5-15 or 35-45 minutes~~ outside of 15-25 and 45-55 minutes past the hour. ~~The best place for this might be in dir- spec or the bandwidth file spec.~~ -- Comment: The appropriate place for this documentation is in the man page, under the V3BandwidthsFile option. It's the place that authority operators are most likely to look when configuring a bandwidth authority. Please see my branch ticket26702 on https://github.com/teor2345/tor.git (We could also document this requirement in sbws, but sbws does atomic symlinks, so it's only important when using scp from a different host.) -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/26702#comment:5> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
