Great stuff Olaf.

Some questions:

I'm aware of the "Last Published Descriptor (GMT)" field, but why is
there such a consistent gap in "observed bandwidth" between Blutmagie
and Rueckgr.at, which is the only other operational TorStatus I'm aware
of?  Is this a question for the Rueckgr.at admin?

Is there another way to check observed bandwidth? Atlas. seems to only
look at advertised bandwidth.

Thanks for your work on this.  I have personally found it enormously
useful for years.  Now we're playing with quick queries like this:
