Check out

Your relay is advertising a capacity of 20KB/s, but the bandwidth
authorities have measured it at 4KB/s. See e.g.
http://seul.org:9131/tor/status-vote/current/authority
which lists it at
w Bandwidth=20 Measured=4

Another way to say that is that it is 5 times worse than the average node
that advertises 20KB/s. Probably part of that has to do with selecting
your 'bandwidthburst' at 20KB also.

It sounds like you'll be better off getting more bandwidth for it, if
you want Tor clients to use it much. Another option might be to turn it
into a bridge relay instead:

Hope that helps,
