The number of users was up again slightly compared to the preceding month.
== Amazon a.k.a. meek-amazon ==
On 2016-08-18, I changed the Amazon CDN price class to "Use Only US, Canada and Europe" to see if it would be cheaper. (As recorded in the log at https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/meek#Users.) That's why there's no "Asia Pacific", "EU", "South America" etc. The setting doesn't affect who can use meek-amazon; it only affects what edge servers get used. It helped a little. We had a little more bandwidth compared to last month (3225 GB vs. 2865 GB) and it cost a little less ($251.88 vs. 277.90).
