Dear Dhalgren Tor,
I have been running a middle node with the ingress connexions being 5-10% fewer
than egress connexions since it started about 11 months ago. changing Tor
versions twice has not made any difference in this, the current version being
0.3.2.10 that came out yesterday. But I'm
it has been before. And my
throughput is down from 35G/day, hitting that max most days to about 23-26G/day.
Don't know if this is because it is a better Tor and is filtering out extra
crap now or not, but just thought I'd mention it, as the Tor version is the
only thing that changed.
Thanks, Gary; I was just wondering, since I think of mine as a typical small
relay, and wondered if others had noticed the same differences.

thought was to leave things for another 2 weeks, and if I still have this
lower throughput, then I will up the RelayBandwidthRate and RelayBandwidthBurst
settings, which has been my very rough way to attract more or fewer connexions.
I try to keep it under my ISP's radar at 1 T a month.
