Paul, Is your relay running on a virtual machine (V-colo)? If so, check your user beancounters, they may show you which resources are being exhausted. Also, do you find any messages in your log?

Excessive scrubs
I have noticed over the past 2 weeks, I have been getting an unusual amount of scrubs. It doesn't tell me which addresses are being scrubbed, so I don't know if they are the same or different ones. It does not affect the operation of Tor. Just fills up the logs. Is there a way to have the '[scrubbed]' removed and the address put in its place?

Re: Full bandwidth is not used.
Not sure, but mine goes up and down all the time. I am not on a allocation or accounting like you, but I check several times a day generally, but at least once a day the bandwidth usage is different than before. It may still be re-balancing, but I also notice that the mode nodes that are running, the lower usage of bandwidth. The less nodes running, my bandwidth has more usage. Just a thought.

Full bandwidth is not used.
Dear Tor folks, I am still seeing the same problem [1]. In April it used the whole limit of 1 TB and hibernated after the limit was reached, but afterward it only came back to around 100 GB per month. Fast IT is not limiting the bandwidth in any way. I tested that. CPU and memory are not utilized completely either. Here is the output from arm. arm - anonymisierungsdienst (Linux...) Tor 0.2.1.26 (recommended) anonymisierungsdien - 0.0.0.0:9090, Dir Port: 80, Control Port (open): 9051 cpu: 0.5%mem: 92 MB (13.0%) pid: 1186uptime: 14-15:11:11 fingerprint: B3EC1BF5D7F7D724BA634D91BE5D22D2D7A70160 flags: Exit, Fast, Guard, Named, Running, Stable, Valid I only have AccountingMax 500 GB set in `/etc/tor/torrc`. So it must be a Tor problem. As you can see from the graphs the bandwidth usage goes up and down quite often. What might be the reason? Besides it is still below the available 100 Mbit/s. So does rebalancing still have problems as indicated in Andrew’s answer [3]?

Re: Tor network connections constantly building / failing
That is normal right after you start Tor up. What your seeing is Tor is still building circuits. After a short period, it does level out, then you should only be showing several circuits. Your dl/up speeds will vary during this and will level off shortly after. After your connection has been up for a while ie: several days, your speeds will pick up as the other nodes get to know your node. Everything is normal of what your seeing. :) Thanks for running Tor.
