Hi, thanks for Your reply.
I thought about it, the best solution for me will be to change Bandwith settings during working hours using crontab. I will prepare two separate configuration files with different Bandwidth settings and using it, two times per day cronjob will increase/decrease bandwith for TOR. This should be the best solution in that case. ok , if I will replace configuration file with the new settings, do I need to reload or restart my tor node ? I do not want to loose my active connections. How to do it properly ?
