New user question about Directory mirroring & bittorent

[NATHANIEL HOMIER]

Hello all.  My name is Nate.

I just started using tor as a client and server.  I have 2 questions 
that I can't find an answer to in the wiki and docs.  I have my 
BandwidthRate, BandwidthBurst set to 50KB as my ADSL line is 500KB down 
and 90KB up.

"Uncomment this to mirror the directory for others (please do)"  This 
line seems to make me feel guilty about asking if it's okay to not 
mirror the dir in an effort to reduce bandwidth usage.  Only to keep my 
line responsive.  Basically I just want to serve the tor users without 
mirroring the dir.  I suppose if you really need the help I could keep 
it uncommented But I would rather not.  So okay to comment out?

Also I want to continue using my torrent client Azureus.  Obviously not 
on the tor network.  How well do the tor server and torrent play 
together concerning bandwidth.  Would I need to adjust the 
BandwidthRate, BandwidthBurst of 50KB down some to make adjustments for 
torrent.  I plan on reducing the upload bandwidth for torrent to 
something like 10KB to 20KB down from the current 56.7KB now and the 
download rate would  get a limit of 200KB maybe more maybe less 
depending on what you guys say.

Any advice on how to carve up my bandwidth for Tor, torrent, Web 
browser, E-Mail would be greatly appreciated.

Tor version: 0.1.0.16-1~breezy.1
ADSL
500KB down
90KB up
