Hi,
https://metrics.torproject.org shows a big nose dive recently regarding the
number of HSDir's. Did i miss anything relevant in the last days ? That
seem to be the reason why i see increasing download numbers on my system.
Thanks for any lind of info.

No clue. I wonder if there's some backlash from a anti-attack mechanism of some sort? There was a few attempted attacks against the Tor network, but it wasn't anything worth discussing. Check out the post on the 31st from
blog.torproject.org.

I think something must have happened, I restarted half a dozen or so of my relays over a week ago and none of them have been given the HSDir flag, which if I remember rightly is a 21 hour flag? I may be mistaken but, I would have expected that flag to be back with over a week of uptime.

It used to be a 25 hour flag. 1 day plus an additional hour.
I think (yes, that says I don't know) the period being longer than 24
hours had something to do with an attack to get relays under adversary
control in the right position to become a HSDir for some
hidden-services. If one pays for a relays by days an additional hour is
an additional day for an attacker.
I may have missed something, but maybe it was raised.
I do remember that changes to Guards took place, like requiring them to
have more bandwidth and to reducing the number of Guards clients would
use. This was due to research.
Regards,
Sebastian

On the 29th December one of our relays, bigbud (6911888F83565892FE23F1B03EB501D80E1E8780) which had a consensus of 630+ and had been running for nearly 18 months (100 days uptime running 2.5.8) suddenly started receiving much less traffic.
I have seen a gradual reduction in traffic over the course of the last year but on the 29th the drop off was very significant and I saw in Atlas that the consensus is dropped to 20. When I look at the consensus files
it shows that bigbud has a consensus of 20 and that Unmeasured was set to 1.
Any ideas please? I upgraded Tor to 2.5.10 after I noticed the consensus drop. Is this something to do with the Lizard new relay flood or something or is there an actual problem with the relay?
On a related note the relay lost guard status too a few months ago and I couldn't see why that would be.

This was reported yesterday 01.01.2015 in IRC too, for this relay:
3D7E274A87D9A89AF064C13D1EE4CA1F184F2600
The same it was pushing good amounts of traffic and the consensus
weight dropped to 20 with no modifications made to the Tor config file
or anything. You are the 3rd person who reports this, seams like worth
investigating further.
I can see both of them are exits, but doubt this has anything to do
with it.
Could it be a measurement problem from the bandwidth authorities? Why
would it happen only to very few relays in this case?
