Actually, I think it's a matter of waiting on a stable IP and network connection for a month or two. (Your torrc looks fine.) I was just trying to list all possible factors, however unlikely. The instability is likely due to the bandwidth authorities (there's only a small number, which doesn't help stability). It will stabilise over time. But I don't think your overall level is caused by the authorities. Now that I think about it, as far as I recall, the "observed bandwidth" is a notional figure, not an actual bandwidth measurement. Because middle relays are in oversupply, their bandwidths get weighted down. (My middle relays are listed at about 50% of their advertised/link bandwidth.) Australian middle relays that are getting similar results to yours are: Aquinas DC5E2202E0148A53379F68A04207E04FFA7B4B2D (default) - Windows 8 terranullius - Windows 8 CoD Australian middle relays that are getting almost their exact advertised bandwidth: Serversaurus If you can pick the difference, I'm sure we'd be glad to know why! teor pgp 0xABFED1AC hkp://pgp.mit.edu/ https://gist.github.com/teor2345/d033b8ce0a99adbc89c5 http://0bin.net/paste/Mu92kPyphK0bqmbA#Zvt3gzMrSCAwDN6GKsUk7Q8G-eG+Y+BLpe7wtmU66Mx
