Thanks Mike,
Question: I'm new at this mailing list. Instructions were to post
comments / quest. to: [email protected]. But replies to my quest.
come from [email protected].
Which address should I send ORIGINAL posts to & which for REPLIES to
others' replies?
Welcome! Both original posts and replies can be sent to either
address, they'll both go out to the list. When sending mail to either
address, [email protected] gets added to the "Reply-To" header, so
I suppose for ease of separation you could consider [email protected]
to be your OP address and [email protected] to be your Reply
address. This isn't necessary, however, as plenty of OPs come in
through [email protected].
Q2: For * current * topics, is there way or site to view
discussions - before they show on the archives site? Not sure if
all discussions wind up on archives site & how long takes.
AFAIK, the seul.org archives are updated pretty much immediately.
There have been cases where the archive thread will show up before a
post will show up in my inbox.
Re: Your questions: Have home ADSL conn (non static IP). Direct /
dry loop DSL w/ AT&T - U.S. - TX. Unless they JUST changed how they
treat Tor connections, probably not the ISP (tho not out of question).
Just d/l & installed Vidalia 0.2.2.17a. Have VERY limited testing
w/ it so far, but the constant, RAPID building / failing of new
connections seems to have stopped - for the moment. Will do further
testing. I haven't tried other connections / open wifi.
Let us know what you see.
Could just be temporary Tor network conditions, but before AND after
installing Vidalia 0.2.2.17a, many pages now loading quite slowly vs
same pgs in past months (comparing loading same pages on many diff
days of wk & time of day). Only diff on computer is upgrading to
Firefox 3.6.10. My non Tor DSL speeds are still good.
Tor speeds for me fluctuate wildly depending on the time of day, phase
of the moon, will of the gods, etc. Let us know if this is constant
after the further testing you mentioned above.

Thus spake Joe Btfsplk ([email protected]):
What I'm seeing is completely ABnormal from what I've seen for 1
- 2
yrs, over several Tor / Vidalia versions. I often looked at network
maps - was never like this.
1) What I described about connections constantly (RAPID fire -
dozens,
one after another) building, then immediately after 90% of
connections
1st pop up - showing "building" - they immediately fail. Problem
is, so
many fail so quickly (in seconds), fair amount of time, there
aren't 3
good (open, stable) connections. Therefore, d/l seems to drop to
zero
during that time.
2) ** Currently, this behavior does NOT "level off." It continues
as
long a Tor / Polipo are running (even a day or more). Regardless,
in
past if I ran Tor for 1 hr, I NEVER saw anything close to this. I
don't
leave Tor running (for normal browsing) for days at a time. Never
have.
3) Now, my speeds never pick up (for any length of time).
Your ISP may be blocking connections to the Tor network. What type of
internet connection is this? Work/school/library/home? What country
are you in? Have you tried other networks/open wifi to see if you get
the same result?
