Suddenly received a message saying [warn] Possible compression bomb, abdnoning steam. Not sure what this means, but the bridge does appear running, saying it has pushed 3 GB within the last 7 days. It just seems odd as looking it has logged this message a huge number of times within an hour or so. Hi, <https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-relays/2020-November/019060.html>, cheers.

Thank you. I am wondering what this message means?

If you read all the mails, i have already sent a mail about this, and I'm working on an investigatory patch to find out where it comes from. It might be from the 253 new relays added in the same time for only 12 hours but we do need to have a better way to understand this kind of problem anyway. Cheers, -- Guinness
