[tor-talk] New site attempting to help Tor grow

[Virilha]

Had bad experience with D.O. running $5 relay at sgp1 region. When  
using RelayBandwidthRate with 100 KB VPS always freezed. Like 10 times  
a day.

Crashes only stopped after RelayBandwidthRate was set to 50 KB.

Maybe the problem was with my hypervisor, but i am switching from them.
