Thank You Mike for your research and hard work on making Tor faster. We appreciate it. I noticed the performance gain from the very first time I used the new release, and continue experiencing faster connections. I was able to download a 30MB file the other night at a rate of 250KB/sec consistently throughout the entire download. We updated Tor in JanusVM and will be releasing a new version soon. best regards, Kyle Williams http://www.janusvm.com
