James, if you use the default init.d script that comes with
torproject's tor package you shouldn't have to worry about file
descriptors.

You can verify it via

grep open /proc/<tor pid>/limits

I see you are only running a single tor instance. If you are on a
GBit/s link you certainly want to run more than one instance.


The 3 months graph on atlas show a steady grow in used bw, so it looks
like it will continue that way.
