ranking system so that slower users get targeted towards servers in the same
sort of class, whereas the higher speed users get bumped into a higher
class?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<or-dev@freehaven.net><BR><BR>I've been using Tor for a few days now, and
am wondering about the<BR>dedicated server requirements. When I download
via the proxy, sometime<BR>I'll get half-decent speeds, and sometimes it will
crawl along. I<BR>understand this has to do with one of the connections
that I'm being<BR>bounced through. Are there any connection requirements
that are<BR>enforced to run a server? For example, the server must sit on
a minimum<BR>5mbit connection, or something similar. Am I just being
greedy because<BR>I'm used to higher speeds, or should I just deal with the fact
that I'm<BR>being bounced through somebody's 960/128k DSL
connection?<BR><BR>Mike<BR><BR>----- End forwarded message
