Bandwidth is 500GB up and down per month. Tor can have half of this (note the up *and* down).

Also useful to add accounting limits if you wish to restrict overall usage within a particular period. For example, I have about 750 GB pcm to donate to Tor. I manage to stay within this by setting a daily accounting limit as below:
AccountingStart day 18:00 AccountingMax 13 GB
Note that the AccountingMax figure is /each way/ so we need to double this to 26 GB to see what the actual maximum traffic will be restricted to.
As the manual page explains, it is better to have a collection of fast servers which are up most of the time rather than a host of slow servers which are always up.
And you (Nick) might want to consider getting a VPS to dedicate to Tor. They are pretty cheap these days. But if you can't do this, then donate a sum (say $5 a month) to the tor project who will use it to provide additional bandwidth.
Every little helps.
