Re: Tor/Vidalia hangs

2007-10-12 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
tor 0207a and vidalia 14 seem to work fine again.

The only change I made was to turn of the option of beeing a directory
server.

Perhaps a bug in 0207a that makes tor servers acting as dirservers not
respond in windows?

Anyone else that has experienced this with version 0207a?

Sorry, nothing unusual in the log file.
Two things have happened the last week, tor (and vidalia) crashes or
becomes unresponsive. Either way tor doesn't work. And the server once
crashed resulting in some corrupted files. I don't know if that server
crash was caused by Tor or some other server software. It might have
been caused by some other windows software, I don't know.

Is there some way for me to find out what causes Tor (and Vidalia) to
crash or become unresponsive? If so I would be happy to help.

Is there a way for me to find out if Tor/Vidalia crashed my computer, or
if the computer crash caused Tor/Vidalia to stop working properly?

 this?
 

i have experienced this also on my windows xp box.  i think it's an issue with 
vidalia.  for me, it has been occurring for a few versions of vidalia now.  
i've never had tor freeze nor push the cpu to 100% nor have i ever had to kill 
tor.exe because of non-compliance.

on that box i have tor setup as an nt-service, so there is no need for vidalia 
to start/stop tor.  it is using vidalia-0.0.14 and tor-0.1.2.17.

it seems to occur when tor is downloading routers. vidalia has to parse this 
and reflect the new list of routers in the network map view.  the newtwork 
map view needs to be open.  it also seems to occur if tor is having trouble 
building circuits and is constantly failing and creating new circuits.  vidalia 
can't keep up with the updated/active list of circuits.  or, if close circuit 
is used and tor has to build a new circuit, etc. again, this seems to only 
happen if network map view is open.

i'm not certain of this, but i think if vidalia is opened but not used (or, 
perhaps just the network map is not left open), the 100% cpu/freezing does 
not occur.  someday i might test this hypothesis.  then again, it is windows 
and i'm well acquainted with needing to kill processes in order to keep the 
system stable. ;)

these are just observations and i've got no log files to accompany my claims.

Tor/Vidalia hangs

2007-10-03 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I'm running vidalia0014 and tor0207a.

The last 5-7 times I started my server, both Vidalia and tor hangs.
Vidalia either starts responding or crashes when I shut down the tor.exe
process manually.
Tor starts working again if I start up Vidalia and start tor from the menu.

Perhaps this is a known bug, but if not, does anybody have any good
suggestions?

I have ended up not bothering to run my tor server the last days/weeks,
as I don't know if the alpha code works well enough. (I could go back to
0206a, but I'm waiting for 0208a.)
The process tor.exe uses more memory than usual, it's now around 80-90MB.
Vidalia uses around 25-45MB (like it normally does).

Have more people experienced this bug, or am I the only one experiencing
this?
