Just a follow up, I was wondering if anyone knew the average bandwidth consumption? On Feb 6, 2013 9:55 PM, "Jonathan W" <jonwilliams0000@gmail.com> wrote:

Ok, I might be overestimation, what is the average bandwidth consumption... And thank you fit the help. On Feb 6, 2013 7:13 AM, "Dustin Hess" <hessmo@gmail.com> wrote:

My mirror runs on EC2 and my bandwidth costs are less than $5/month. On Feb 6, 2013 6:00 AM, <tor-mirrors-request@lists.torproject.org> wrote:

Thank you for the reply. I've been doing some estimates on the EC2, and I'm thinking that bandwidth would be cheaper elsewhere. Where can I cheaply put up a mirror?

I have an instance on AWS, with ubuntu server. Can you walk me through how to install and set up apache, which ports to open, and how to start the mirror?

Thanks, Jon

Need to get the word out to more people to use it, I personally am 100% happy with tor as it is. My bandwidth is like 3x that. Mostly legitimate I'd say. Sent from my iPhone On Feb 10, 2013, at 2:21 PM, Steve Snyder <swsnyder@snydernet.net> wrote:

I don't know how representative my mirror is, but I'll tell you my stats.

My Chicago-based mirror syncs with torproject.org/tor/ every 4 hours. In the first 10 days of this month I received 2.5GB and transmitted 83MB. Looking at the logs I see that the majority of requests are from various indexing entities, primarily Googlebot and Baiduspider.

Note that the stable Tor hasn't been updated for nearly 3 months and the only recent TorBrowser update was immediately followed by an advisement not to download it (due to OpenSSL breakage). I assume that requests for actual mirror content would be higher were there to be highly-sought-after new content to download.

That's my $0.02. _______________________________________________ tor-mirrors mailing list tor-mirrors@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-mirrors

I agree that the destruction of logs that would identify the recipients of Tor content is a Good Thing. I'm keeping logs for now because my mirror has only been up for 19 days, and during a period of largely unchanging content at that. I want to know that all is well before I start discarding info needed to diagnose a problem. On 02/10/2013 07:21 PM, AskApache Webmaster wrote:

And yes, I just recently deleted all my old apache logs and changed my log rotate to run a bash script that deletes the logs regularly. I'm also open to setting my error log and custom log to /dev/null
