The other authorities measured this: 278; 355; 367; 803; So it looks like the speed was pretty much the same for the measurements performed on your relay by different servers on different networks. If you say you are sure there is nothing automated (at either OS level, hypervisor level, local router/network level or something upstream) that could throttle this in case of continuous high usage Your AS shows up as BellSouth.net, which redirects to AT Have you asked them if they're throttling you? (Or do you work for BellSouth?) there's not much you can do other than waiting some time to see the next speed measurements. You can check the warning and notice level Tor logs to see the amount of traffic Tor thinks it is handling. You can also tap or mouse over the bandwidth in Atlas, and it will show you what's limiting your relay - in this case, it appears to be the consensus weight. (The observed maximum bandwidth is 2.44 MBps, and the rate and burst are 5 and 10 MBps.) Unfortunately, sometimes relays get stuck in a low measurement category. We're working on a test environment, so we can start fixing issues like this. In the meantime, you can try the following things: * restart the relay * change the IP address * delete all the relay keys and start again You might want to wait a week or so after trying each step. Please let us know if one of these things works, it will help us diagnose the issue. I've already restarted the relay (been about 5-6 days). It was doing this before the restart although it continues to decline. I'll delete the whole VPS and create a new one. LOL...guess I'll be starting new on my t-shirt authorization (but that is another thread...).

Re: [tor-relays] decrease in traffic
No, not yet. I was planning on setting up Atlas but haven't had a chance. This was a little test server we had spun up for various projects and we decided to just run a node on it. However, we plan on keeping it going now, if we can get it running so that it actually does some real work.

Nothing you can do about this unfortunately, most providers do this, even the ones they say they don't do it :) Only thing you can do is get a dedicated server with guaranteed bandwidth, or try to convince them to at least lift your the limitation for your VPS to 1mbps. ___ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays ___ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays ___ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays

[tor-relays] decrease in traffic
I'm new to running a Tor relay and started one about a month ago. I've got 50 Mbps dedicated to it and at first it climbed in traffic pretty steadily until it got to around 25-30 Mbps being used.
