+    If your relay is relatively new then give it time. Tor decides which 

+    relays it uses heuristically based on reports from Bandwidth 

+    Authorities. These authorities take measurements of your relay's 

+    capacity and, over time, directs more traffic there until it reaches 

+    an optimal load. The lifecycle of a new relay is explained in more 

+    depth in <a href="https://blog.torproject.org/blog/lifecycle-of-a-new-relay">
