[tor-talk] Tor client pushing large amounts of data?

[Sebastian Lechte]

My local tor client runs 0.2.3.7-alpha. Just now I stumbled upon this:

Heartbeat: Tor's uptime is 2 days 6:00 hours, with 0 circuits open. I've
sent 48.04 GB and received 992.41 MB.


I don't run a bridge and don't run hidden services. Nothing in my usage
makes me expect the large 'sent' value. Is the counter wrong or do I
want to investigate further?
