Someone is doing a big download, and it happens to go through your relay?

My relays often ran into 'flatline' (capacity continuously used up)
until I set the AdvertizedBandwith lower than the actual limit.

What bandwidth exactly (OS or tor)? After all what comes into the
relay must go out again - the strange thing is that the burst
does more 'Read' (150k) than 'write' (20k) while otherwise the
traffic is symmetric. Sure that there isn't anything else running
on your relay?
