Tim is referring to the phenomenon described here: https://blog.torproject.org/blog/lifecycle-of-a-new-relay And it looks like that dip and rebuilding already happened: https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/94F9D8D35C4A4851B1DAF85F70F90DB95065E81E > >I deployed a new tor-relay about 2 months ago.

How much bandwidth your relay uses is also a function of how much spare capacity there is the network right now: so long as the green and blue lines in this graph: https://metrics.torproject.org/network.html#bandwidth are far enough apart, then you won't necessarily be saturated with traffic. But it's still odd that you never see spikes higher, assuming your network can really handle it. > >Is this normal or may I have configured something wrong? > > > >Last time I had a relay running I received 100Mbit+ traffic... What are the differences between your old torrc and your new one? --Roger _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
