Hi folks, We're getting close to having 0.1.2.15 ready. I've put a snapshot at http://freehaven.net/~arma/tor-0.1.2.14-dev.tar.gz http://freehaven.net/~arma/tor-0.1.2.14-dev.tar.gz.asc that we hope compiles in more places than 0.1.2.14 (apologies to the BSD folks :), and has fewer bugs and no new

Now the throughput (``bandwidth'') of a TCP connection is limited by window/rtt. What this means is that with ConstrainedSockets enabled, your tor server will have basically unlimited throughput on a local connection, but be limited to roughly 40 kB/s per connection (that's bytes, not bits)

active connections when hibernating

2007-07-13 Thread Jens Kubieziel
Hi, I'm running a tor server on Debian etch (0.1.2.14). It's currently hibernating. Today I needed to restart it. After the restart the number of active connections dropped (URL:http://www.kubieziel.de/tmp/br.png). Why had it open some 30 connections even if it was hibernating? It's not used as

What do you mean by Hibernating? Any process will need to be running in order to close connections; otherwise, the kernel has to at least track that This connection has been closed by the other side, but not yet acknowledged as closed by this side.. On 7/13/07, Jens Kubieziel [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hours? Possibly. They'll stay open until the other side closes them, as I understand; that's one hour by default. Days? No, that's not, as I understand, supposed to happen. Heck, if I shut down my or-port (so no new connections arrive), and turn it off in my browser (so no new outgoing

Tor bandwidth testing

I just realized that tor seems to be testing bandwidth at startup with received data, not with sent data. Is this in fact what's happening? If so, I think this test is backwards.
