Maybe a botnet owner has decided to donate his rooted machines.
I read an account, I thnk it was on reddit, of a guy who found his machine connecting to tor and acting as a relay on its own. It was infected.

Well, thanks to the media attention my Android device is now totally shielded by Tor. I don't know the impact on battery yet.
Are you using Orbot? Do you like it? I've considered giving it a try.
It's Orbot indeed.
Installation is quite easy. I have default settings with start on boot and covering all Inet traffic from the device. I have the feeling that it kinda sucks battery and, indeed, impact on bandwidth remains to be seen. Regardless, it's a good start and at least there is an option to just leave Orbot off and switch it on to use the Orweb TOR Browser when I consider it necessary....
There's a plugin -Network preferences for mobile Firefox to chose port 8118,
dont think that it does route all Traffic thru tor?
I read on heise.de that the Tor Traffic increase was the same in all Country's Germany and Bangladesh, what they say it's unusual

You'd think some privacy-oriented company would sponsor something like that, especially if they have an internet connectivity related business themselves.

I don't know the impact on your monthly bandwidth yet.
I think it would be cool for somebody to make their phone an exit node. That way, it wouldn't be nearly as easy for people to distinguish between tor traffic and other traffic.
Do you think SilkRoad volume is increasing and this has an effect on price?
This isn't a result of the Silk Road. This is a result of the US Government.

To be fair I hardly ever used tor until a couple days ago.
If it was caused by NSA scandal we should see a steady grow starting few months ago, just after the first leaks.
My personal vote goes for an attack or software bug.
This was my first thought. My personal vote goes for an attack or software bug.
I think this is caused by the NSA scandal, it doesn't have anyting to do with Silk road.
People see that they are spied on and want more privacy.

Silk Road is a very small part of Tor. It's near the bottom on most Tor homepages.
