Re: [tor-relays] Overloaded state indicator on relay-search

[Silvia/Hiro <hiro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I went back in history and tried to find out whenever your node
FriendlyExit1 was overloaded. I couldn't find the exact descriptor.

One thing I can think of is that on the 22nd when I deployed this I
noticed a few typos in the code and had to make a second release. Maybe
something was cached for a while and you what you were accessing from
mobile was the buggy page.

If it happens again there are two buttons at the end of the page where
you can see the latest server and extra-info descriptors. If you
download the server one you would be able to verify that there is a
"overload-general" field in there. If there isn't we have a bug :).

Please let me know if this happens again.

Cheers,
-hiro
