Be careful! The "MB" above is megabytes per second. So your 100mbit
connection is rate limited to 680mbit.

This is why the sample torrc file these days says "MBytes" rather than
"MB".

As for why your new relay isn't handling much traffic yet, see
https://blog.torproject.org/blog/lifecycle-of-a-new-relay

But also see the recent discussions here about the bandwidth authorities,
since a lot of the load on your relay will depend on what weights the
bandwidth authorities vote about your relay, and these votes are not
exactly perfect lately.

Thanks for running a relay!
