You'll have to define "traffic" for us. Do you mean incoming TCP connections that are trying to get to your server? If so, then yes, there are still a few hundred thousand Tor users out there who might try to build a circuit that includes you; it will be several hours until that begins to taper off. Do you mean actual bytes carried back and forth by your Tor server? If so, perhaps you have a different definition of "shut down" than I do? :) --Roger
