In order to clarify this once and for all: If I setup a Tor relay with 200 kBps, do I slow down the Tor network? What amount of bandwith is needed in order to not slow down the network?
In order to get the Fast flag, you need a relay capable of 2 megabytes per second. Most clients won't use you for anything if you don't have the Fast flag, so you'll have minimal impact on the network.
Do you mean 2 megabit/s?
Last time I checked 2 Mbps was the minimum for Fast, i.e. 256 KBps. Note the differing units. I ran a 2 Mbit relay from home for a while and it got the Fast flag.
Oops, you're right, Fast is 100 KByte/second, Guard is 2 MByte/second. To get the fast flag, you also need to be in the top 7/8ths fastest relays.
