Hi,

my non-exit node ran on a vServer with ulimit 1024. Because I was afraid
of running in this limit I logged the number of oben files with

   pid=`cat /home/tor/.tor/tor.pid`
   sock=`ls -x1 /proc/$pid/fd | wc -l`
   

The number of open files depends on the bandwith limit. I don't know,
what my limit was, I think 40kb/s and the number of open sockets was
about 80 or 90.

Perhaps you could start with a low bandwith limit and have a look at
your number of open sockets.
