you are right. Blutmagie uses a different bandwidth calculation using
average bandwidth values instead of peak load. I've adopted some code
written by Kasimir Gabert from his tns 4.0 trunk version.

Btw Kasimir's trunk tns site http://trunk.torstatus.kgprog.com uses the
same calculation like blutmagie.

This algorithm fulfilled Roger's wish #2 from his wishlist posted on
this list two years ago:
http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/Jan-2008/msg00300.html

There are two other non standard tns 3.6.1 gimmicks introduced on Blutmagie.
1.) Hovering mouse pointer over the a flag shows the city as a tool tip
and clicking on a flag opens router's location in Openstreetmap.

2.) In table "Aggregate Network Statistic Summary" at page's bottom
there's a row "Total Bandwidth of displayed Routers". If you narrow down
your choice of displayed routers for example by required flags exit=yes
it will display the total sum of last 24 hour average sustained exit loads.
