You can take it down for some days without losing any flags or consensus weight. Had it with my exit i have at home. I had to reinstall it and i have the same stats as before.

This is a frequently asked question, particularly if you add "losing flags" to the relay operator's list of concerns.
So... is it possible?
I don't think that short maintenance outages should significantly impact consensus weight. Bandwidth takes a little while to ramp back up because people need to build circuits through your relay again.
Anyway, if you need to do maintenance, don't wait. The network benefits more from a secure, reliable relay with 5% less consensus weight. :-) _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
