[tor-relays] Inflated throughput measures from torproject metrics?

[torix]

Thanks for setting my mind at ease, Georg. I did actually read about the speed test, but didn't think that could be the cause, as I weathered the last speed test without seeing anything noticeable.

Reading the email again, I understand that the difference here is that the traffic script is being run over and over again for 2 weeks instead of just once.  And yes, one of my relays fell over with a kernel limits problem two nights ago.
