Why is there a difference in the amount of data tor has sent and received?
Hello list, So when running my OBFS4 bridge I noticed something, tor recently popped up with a message saying “I’ve sent 30mb and received 104mb.” Why is there such a big difference in the amount of data my bridge has received and sent? Info – tor 0.3.4.8 running on Windows 10 (Although tor seems to think it’s running on Windows 8 for some reason)? Thanks. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

Please copy and paste the exact message: it's hard to give you a good answer when we don't know how long your relay took to use that bandwidth. Your bridge downloads copies of all the tor directory documents and descriptors. The requests that are sent are small, but the documents that are received are big. Your bridge also uses some bandwidth in each direction to behave like a Tor client.

"Applications not manifested for Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 will return the Windows 8 OS version value (6.2)." https://docs.microsoft.com/en-au/windows/desktop/api/sysinfoapi/nf-sysinfoap...
