The information helps a lot. New questions :). What is the algorithm for generating the file "cached-routers" for a Tor client? Why cannot I find a running router's information in this file while I can find it in the folder "cached-status"?
It may take a long time for a new router (or a restarting router) to appear in "cached-routers". Is there a way to force new router information into "cached-routers"? Thanks a lot!
