Thank you so much! that really was it! but you will never believe which application caused this! it was the opera browser! without your help i would have never figured this out. i still dont understand why opera would suddenly start to hammer tor like this. i know that opera has a built-in bittorrent client, but that has never caused any problems until recently. *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to [email protected] with unsubscribe or-talk in the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
