Hi,
You are running a Tor relay, which is great: http://rougmnvswfsmd4dq.onion/rs.html#details/3875C9C843D33762FA733BCAF128F2...
First: that Tor version is obsolete, and because of old bugs, we will soon cut relays running those versions out of the network. Please consider upgrading!
Second: let us know if there is any way to help you bump up the bandwidth that you are allocating to the Tor relay. :)
You can find Tor packages for your distro / OS here: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TorRelayGuide#Platformspecific...
Ideally you will switch to keeping up with our stable releases, but if you need a stable that is especially stable, the Tor 0.3.5 branch will be maintained until Feb 2022: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkTeam/CoreTorR... and you can see the lifetimes of other Tor versions on that table too.
Let us know if we can do anything to make the process easier.
And lastly, I am cc'ing the new network health mailing list (which has public archives), to help us stay synced: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkHealthTeam
Thanks! --Roger
Well the box is still running Ubuntu trusty (14.04), so it isn't getting the Tor updates anymore, and i haven't found the time to upgrade it yet.

Ok. I encourage you to find a way to upgrade it -- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS reached its end-of-life in April of this year, and it hasn't received any security updates since then. So upgrading it (even independent of whether you upgrade the Tor relay) would be doing your part to making the internet a safer place. :)
Thanks! --Roger
