[tor-relays] slow relays

[niftybunny]

Hard to tell. A few years ago I had an ISP with a fat shiny direct line to the DE-CIX. So in theory everything was wonderful, it was not. Rule of thumb: Get as near as possible to the auth servers, same data center would be perfect :)

Having all relays in one data center would make the state actors very very happy. I am still a fan of more auth servers all over the world. But who am I to tell what to do. 

The bw is normally displayed in kilobytes. So you have 9000 kilobytes thats around 9 megabyte and Tor will use (in best case scenario) 4,5 megabyte. ATM Tor is using 1 megabyte :(

If you really want to know how much Tor will give you, run it as an Exit. Tor will love you and gives you every bit of traffic it has. Please don’t do this from home or if you are not sure what you are doing etc . (insert big fat disclaimer)

The other sits two or three hops (depending, apparently, on the phase of the moon) from the tier 1 network run by Telia. So, at least with my limited understanding of internet topography, they should both be topologically close to most hosts worldwide.

So your delay is too hight and the bw measurement is too low. Thats why the most high speed relays cluster in some countries / providers. I am sure Teor could this explain much better than I do.
