Comment (by pastly):

 Replying to [comment:3 teor]:
 > juga tells me that sbws never overwrites the bandwidth file. Instead, it
 links to the latest file.

 And since they are ~1.5 MiB (for me) and I generate them hourly, the
 folder gets massive. I'm going to make a low-priority ticket for
 addressing this
