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. -- Sincerely yours / Sincères salutations

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.
