Is this related to the Tor modifications you made? :) > However the situation corresponds to no data being transferred through a > TCP stream using the Tor circuit to which it is assigned.

Or watch the debug logs carefully. It's also possible that Tor is just slow -- but that shouldn't cause your control port to stop responding. I should also note that TorExample.py is several years out of date. So it's possible that it does not play well with the current Tor anymore. Mikeperry: is TorExample.py still (thought to be) compatible with TorCtl and friends? --Roger
