(FWD) Server requirements?

connections. We're working on algorithms to make more use of the fast
nodes, and less use of the slow nodes. -RD]

I've been using Tor for a few days now, and am wondering about the
dedicated server requirements.  When I download via the proxy, sometime
I'll get half-decent speeds, and sometimes it will crawl along.  I
understand this has to do with one of the connections that I'm being
bounced through.  Are there any connection requirements that are
enforced to run a server?  For example, the server must sit on a minimum
5mbit connection, or something similar.  Am I just being greedy because
I'm used to higher speeds, or should I just deal with the fact that I'm
being bounced through somebody's 960/128k DSL connection?
