46)     <p>The Tor network relies on volunteers to donate bandwidth. The more
47)     people who run relays, the faster the Tor network will be. If you have

48)     at least 250 KiloBytes/s each way, please help out Tor by configuring your

49)     Tor to be a relay too. We have many features that make Tor relays easy
50)     and convenient, including rate limiting for bandwidth, exit policies so
51)     you can limit your exposure to abuse complaints, and support for dynamic
52)     IP addresses.</p>

54)     <p>Having relays in many different places on the Internet is what
55)     makes Tor users secure. <a

57)     may also get stronger anonymity yourself</a>,
58)     since remote sites can't know whether connections originated at your
