---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
 In the network map window, Vidalia sorts relays by their third
 ("advertised") bandwidth value. Due to Tor bug #2704, some relays are now
 displaying values like 800MB/s.

 To be more defensive, Vidalia should look at all three bandwidth values
 (rate, burst, and advertised), and use the smallest of the three when
 deciding what to display and how to sort them.
