I can provide a dedicated server with these requirements in a university environment. I can roll a test version and maintain it if we decide that is useful.
That would be awesome. A HTTPS webserver with a self-signed certificate is sufficient, serving files generated like so:
that looks to be the formula to create files for use by torflow, taken from:
https://gitweb.torproject.org/torflow.git/tree/NetworkScanners/BwAuthority/R...
for use by sbws, it's not clear what we need the name of the 1GB file to be:
https://gitweb.torproject.org/sbws.git/tree/DEPLOY.rst#n16
perhaps the filename doesn't matter for sbws as long as it's known?
Anyway, in case it's useful, i've put the torflow files on a (non-dedicated) server i control as well. You are welcome to point your torflow scanner at:
https://bw.cmrg.net/(This is for Tom specifically so that Linus' machine can be retired, but anyone else in the Project who runs a bandwidth scanner and wants to pull from me should just let me know and i'm happy.)
Please let me know if there's any problem using it.
I'm happy to set it up for serving the 1GB file for sbws too, i just don't know what that should be called.

dkg:
for sbws, the sbws config file needs to know the name. as long as you tell us the name and path / url to the file, we can add it in our sbws config and that is good enough.
