I'm on a cable modem connection. Going by the published speeds for my service 
level, I have 1.5 Mbit/s download and 384 kbit/s upload, and the next level 
up is 10 Mbit/s down and 1 Mbit/s up. I also have a phone (which has QoS 
priority, but I don't talk on it much) and a mail server and a web server. 
The web server gets some hits from robots, but I have seen 20 kB/s throughput 
on the Tor relay for around a minute at a stretch. How should I set the 
bandwidth parameters?

Being a bridge doesn't make much sense for me since I'm already listed and my 
IP address isn't likely to change unless there's an extended blackout.

I could probably upgrade my connection sometime in January.

OT: In my webserver logs, there are lines like "GET 
http://healthiwant.com/proxyheader.php HTTP/1.1" coming from nameless 
computers in China. What's causing this?
