So I've edited my torrc file again. My upload and download speeds are different, 11MB/sec down and only about 4MB/sec up.

I've set my limits as 3.9MB/s and burst to 4.4MB/s. Just updated the OS, so the machine had to reset.

Have to admit it feels like such as waste. It's currently using about 4-6KB/s out of a potential 4,000KB/s.....

Something else I did notice in my logs was that for v1 v2 connections, I was initiating 0, but receiving a few, but as the v# went up, to say v4, v5 and v6, those numbers got huge 60,000+

Is that normal?

Thanks for the advice and feedback.

just a short note from me, teor alread mentioned it, be careful with
Megabit (Mb) vs. MegaByte (MB).

Here is the part with the important information:
With this option, and in other options that take arguments in bytes,
KBytes, and so on, other formats are also supported. Notably, "KBytes"
can also be written as "kilobytes" or "kb"; "MBytes" can be written as
"megabytes" or "MB"; "kbits" can be written as "kilobits"; and so forth.
Tor also accepts "byte" and "bit" in the singular. The prefixes "tera"
and "T" are also recognized. If no units are given, we default to bytes.
To avoid confusion, we recommend writing "bytes" or "bits" explicitly,
since it’s easy to forget that "B" means bytes, not bits.

Copied from here: https://2019.www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en

For you connection it seems to be 97MBit/s, and it gives you a data rate
of 11MByte/s, also the important question still is if you have
synchronous up- and download bandwidth, please do a speed test if you
are not sure -> search engine "speedtest". For the replay bandwidth you
have to use the smaller value of both, up- and download capability.
