Yeah I read it and figured that enough time have passed and I should start to see more traffic.

This sounds a little far-fetched don't you think?
We have multiple links to our upstream, non of them congested and our upstream have good peering with a lot of big networks in both europe and US.
I really don think this network congestion is the issue here...

Sadly I don't have my old torrc, last time was over 2 years ago and the server I used is gone now.

I did however apply all the changes I found here:
https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-relays/2010-August/000164.html

but after reading more I figured maybe some of the sysctl-commands did more damage than good...
could this be part of the problem maybe?
