Also useful to add accounting limits if you wish to restrict overall
usage within a particular period. For example, I have about 750 GB pcm
to donate to Tor. I manage to stay within this by setting a daily
accounting limit as below:

AccountingStart day 18:00 
AccountingMax 13 GB 

Note that the AccountingMax figure is /each way/ so we need to double
this to 26 GB to see what the actual maximum traffic will be
restricted to.

As the manual page explains, it is better to have a collection of fast
servers which are up most of the time rather than a host of slow
servers which are always up.

And you (Nick) might want to consider getting a VPS to dedicate to
Tor. They are pretty cheap these days. But if you can't do this, then
donate a sum (say $5 a month) to the tor project who will use it to
provide additional bandwidth. 

Every little helps.
