Hey folks. 3xBT here, admin of the node of the same name. I was wondering why my node has yet to pick up the Guard flag:

Apparently they are hijacking DNS failures. Trying to correct for this.

Additional info: When traffic is 4Mbit/sec, CPU and memory load is at ~50%.

I'm also wondering why the log is only being written when I'm looking at it, and if there was anything I could do to increase usage of allotted bandwidth.
