[tor-relays] New relay questions

[Richie]

Hi, Pete,

won't have too much answers (and maybe the bandwith settings from your 
torrc-file would help). Did you set RelayBandwithRate or "only" 
BandwithRate?

Reloading torrc-settings is better made via
pkill -sighup tor
since it does not restart the service (disconnecting everyone in the 
process) but just loads the new config.

Email/GPG Settings should have no effect on anything.
