Comment (by nickm):

 Replying to [comment:2 arma]:
 > Thanks! Are these numbers uncompressed? If so, what are the compressed
 values, i.e. what bandwidth is actually spent on the wire?

 No, that's the actual bytes on the wire.  See the code and/or the README
 in the tarball.

 > And for extra credit, what's the breakdown between consensus info
 (consensus + diffs) and descriptor info (microdescs by default)?

 For that I don't know, but I can tweak it.  Later. :)
