Bandwidth limits

I selected a new subject line since this isn't on topic anymore
(letter from the feds). I noticed in the German version the help text
is not completely displayed so the user doesn't know what that limit
is really about (and the help icon is talking about the old limit, the
INcoming traffic limit only).
So I switched to English and it tells me to put in my upload speed. So
I tried out 40 kb/s maximum and 20 kb/s minimum and get the following
error message each time I start my (middleman) server:
Jan 12 16:54:38:703 [Warning] bandwidthrate unreadable or 0. Failing.
Jan 12 16:54:38:703 [Warning] router_rebuild_descriptor(): Couldn't
allocate string for descriptor.
Jan 12 16:54:38:921 [Warning] bandwidthrate unreadable or 0. Failing.
Jan 12 16:54:38:921 [Warning] router_rebuild_descriptor(): Couldn't
allocate string for descriptor.
Jan 12 16:54:40:187 [Warning] bandwidthrate unreadable or 0. Failing.
Jan 12 16:54:40:203 [Warning] router_rebuild_descriptor(): Couldn't
allocate string for descriptor.

It goes on and on like that. I looked at the torrc file and it
correctly saved what I typed in:
BandwidthBurst 40960
# A token bucket limits the average incoming bandwidth on this node to the
# specified number of bytes per second.
BandwidthRate 20480

If I put in 3 digit numbers (for example 300 kb/s and 200 kb/s) I
don't get the error message. However, my bandwidth is completey taken
by Tor and denies any other internet activities unless I had all the
time of the world available. ;)

Sincerely,
Enigma
