Replying to [comment:1 koolfy]:
> I had 64 of those message on my exit node, and three on my middle node.

> As rransom explained to me, certificates are fetched, not received (as
the message might indicate), so both of those nodes did something wrong at
some point. Might the first one being an exit node be the cause of a
different behaviour ? (I don't know tor specs well enough to comment on
that.)
Yes. Exit nodes fetch directory information earlier than most relays.
> Tor version on both my middle and exit nodes is Tor 0.2.3.13-alpha (git-
e783afd37ecddc1b)
> Can somebody check on his logs that a similar version of his tor relays
might have a similar entry ?
This is not needed -- 64 repeated fetches of the same directory document
are unacceptable, and must be fixed.
We would like to know whether this bad behaviour happens in Tor 0.2.2.x,
though.
> Both of these nodes had an uptime of 4d21h when it happenned. They were
launched at less than 10m appart from eachother, so it might very well be
uptime-related somehow, as the difference in uptime matches closely the
difference in the time at which those messages began.
The relays' uptime is not relevant -- this happened because maatuska
generated a new directory-signing certificate.
