[tor-relays] Bwauths Measures question, friends.

It strange you still haven't any used bandwidth

I cannot explain you why but I have an idea for you in order to "kickstart" your bandwidth usage.

A tor process used to relay traffic also have the possibility to be used as client. If it's at home, it's easy (socks v5 at 127.0.0.1:9050 if you haven't changed anything), if your relay isn't at home, use SSH tunnelling to do so (SSH session brings you to "localhost" on your remote computer, on the port you choose)

Try to download something through your relay, if nothing changed, even the "client" bandwidth will be able to raise your advertised and used bandwidth as server, in order for your server to "start" having weight on the network.

Once "started", everything should be automatic but normally, the start is also automatic after 2 or 3 days, so it is strange. 

May be it's because of the oversupply of "middle nodes" on the network (there is so much middle nodes that most of them - the slowers - probably keep totally unused). Without the guard flag (and it needs enough bandwidth) your relay cannot be used as entry guard right now.

Good luck !

Maybe I should just wait longer but the 3 days unmetered has obviously been passed already. That's why I'm asking about bwauths measurements. 

I was under the impression that after 3 days bwauths adjust your consensus weight and raises your bandwidth estimate. In this case, the server is simply capped at 20kb/s still while my "advertise bandwidth" is little over 50kb/s. Since I have a 2MB/s relay, I'm expecting to see at least over 100kb/s or 250kb/s measurements to make my relay a usable one. Yet the advertised speed hasn't changed. Is that normal and should I just give it more time? That's what I'm trying to understand.

You may want to read the following, which should make this more clear. https://blog.torproject.org/blog/lifecycle-of-a-new-relay Cheers

Anyone knows how often bwauths measures a relay? I don't understand why directory authorities have not lifted the 20KB cap for my older relay. Now I have doubts if it could be a problem with my server. This is a 2MB/s relay with burst of 4MB/s to start tuning it and increase it later if stable, which is not being used and has been running for over 3 days. Is it normal for Relays to take longer than three days to start getting at least some traffic and for directory authorities to lift the 20KB cap?
