You can use 20 Mbit up/down, that would be ok for now. We have to discuss that
internally.

Ok, for now we have tried to implement a iptables rate limit. You should have
full TCP access to adele again, UDP is still blocked.
It would be ok for us if you use the available bandwidth as long as our
services are still working fluidly, but that isn't that easy to implement.

This is a 100/100 MBit fiber, no DSL, the bottleneck is the fiber and one
100MBit switch wich will get overwhelmed if there are to many packets.

Ok, i guess this would't be a problem for our connection. Webtorrent suggests
that it uses less bandwidth on our end.

Sure, we can understand that and sorry that we had to be so drastic, but we
didn't have a choice as all of mur.at wasn't working well and we are loosing
our face in front of our members and financers.

Seems like a good idea

The problem is that we don't have any QOS on our switches enabled yet, to
tackle rate limitting there. We need to learn and implement that first.
We tried establishing a 10Mbit link to your machine, but it didn't like that.
The reasoning being that you could still use the machine, and we would have a
pseudo rate limit.
You mentioned a daily backup, maybe this is the culprit. As i said your machine
made traffic of 8TB in one week, that is just too much.
There are some websites and services of us that are also funded and we could
get a problem with renewing these services, which could cost us thousends in
the future.

we would suggest to put systercloud at grrlz.net as a forwarding address of donna
(donna at mur.at), who already is on all the lists.
