The idea here is that BandwidthRate sets the limit of relay + client traffic (and many people only set BandwidthRate and leave RelayBandwidthRate alone, and that's fine). But if you also use Tor as a client then the relay will take up so much bandwidth that the client has no bandwidth left over, so you have set a lower RelayBandwidthRate so that there is some spare bandwidth left over for client usage. > I'm running my Tor as client and relay, so i'm a little bit confused. > > Can anyone explain that for me? Thanks! I hope this clears it up? If not, don't hesitate to ask further.
