no reason for my node to be hibernating, no caps...

>            in the period. For example, with AccountingMax set to 1
>            GByte, a server could send 900 MBytes and receive 800

>            To prevent all servers from waking at the same time, Tor
>            will also wait until a random point in each period before
>            waking up. If you have bandwidth cost issues, enabling

>            since it provides users with a collection of fast servers

>            set of slow servers that are always "available".
