Hi Christophe,
You are running a Tor relay, which is great: http://rougmnvswfsmd4dq.onion/rs.html#details/50BAD4E48646797796107ECF019217...
First: that Tor version is obsolete, and because of old bugs, we will soon cut relays running those versions out of the network.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
1. Oops. Upgraded it now. I used to get tor-weather notifications about being out of date, but I either missed one or they're no longer being sent. Subscribed to tor-announce now, which should help. 2. I bumped up the bandwidth limits slightly but I have a very-asymmetric consumer connection (100D/6U) so there's not much that can be done on that front.

Looks great! Thanks.

Yeah, alas we stopped running Tor weather some years ago. Some other nice person on the internet started running something at torweather.org, but I actually don't know who it is, so I can't say much about its reliability. :)

Good idea. Yes, we make sure to announce new Tor stable releases there (along with Tor Browser releases and a few others).

Every bit helps. Thanks!
