Hi, It's normal. The usage will increase, in time. Just keep your relay running all the time and it will grow once clients learn about it. Read: https://blog.torproject.org/blog/lifecycle-of-a-new-relay Very important for new relays. Keep it running and thanks for running a relay. - -- s7r PGP Fingerprint: 7C36 9232 5ABD FB0B 3021 03F1 837F A52C 8126 5B11 PGP Pubkey: http://www.sky-ip.org/s7r@sky-ip.org.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) iQEbBAEBAgAGBQJTobznAAoJEIN/pSyBJlsR1TcH9iUy7lJ4dtD2kHJsYhXmBHAG +JR5AVAl+v8AswrL1nB+g+2FM8kYDRS7T9NC56l2X7BSNdiQ02w2yF51gDL7S6z4 y4UWhgR5gW5zPGG/69Z/r5l0oDJyNXS+YTy34zy9hMv6/wu+oiaU86anuesYPtBm PrTjIsY6TlHYIKYKiYEievW4HlOvK5E0ug+CJkYWMyM8gp26qiUsbz+uOO8NP4yI mBxgmlSvvd+VYQ1QtMVtdcqQ/LRT1jMFVkrKaMZn8G0GgFxo55pDMidCcu53iJYc I0DHGb7EAGgS4XSb/4ItaVNhrJRV7G/uEbc6M6xKRg3NhXVdlP15Gd2YBPLNuQ== =fMoP -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
