Perhaps this IS in fact normal. I ran a Tor relay on a Raspberry Pi for a while. My speed was about 1Mbps max, similar to your 1.5Mbps. I saw minimal traffic, and the consensus weight never went above 20.

I'm not running a relay at home anymore because of the slow speeds. The configuration guide mentions having at least 250KBytes or 2Mbps, and even relays that have 2Mbps probably won't see much traffic since there's plenty of faster middle relays.

5kbit/s traffic and consensus weight of 14 after running for a month, including last 9 days with the same IP and a Stable flag - you consider this normal?

Rana,

Your relay is actually getting about as much traffic as a middle relay of that size should expect.

When you change the IP address, it takes a while to re-establish that traffic, as it should, due to the reasons I mentioned in my original email.
