<div dir="ltr">Thanks Logforme - yeah I was trying that before I sent the first email in this chain, but maybe I didn't go low enough with the advertised bandwidth. When the 0.2.4 compilation is done (it's still chugging along) I'll try going lower and see if it helps.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div>

</div>Only option that I know of is to reduce the bandwidth you advertise to<br>
the network. The more bandwidth you advertise the more circuits the tor<br>
network will throw at your relay. The following flags in the torrc file<br>
can be used (with my current understanding of them):<br>
BandwidthRate : The max bandwidth you provide over a long period of time<br>
BandwidthBurst : The max bandwidth you provide over a short period of time<br>
MaxAdvertisedBandwidth : The max bandwidth you tell the tor network about<br>
So you can set BandwidthRate to the real max you want to provide and<br>
then set MaxAdvertisedBandwidth to a number low enough to prevent<br>
circuit overload.<br>
