For me, now it takes one-two hours to reach its full potential, but in

If it matters, I, for one, start tor in the morning with the laptop,

Hello everyone
One of my friends got a ransomware and, even if I am on Linux and I
take care when browsing, with such a proof beside me I thought I'd
secure myself a bit, so I got ufw. I am running a middle relay, and so
far it went just fine with ~2.5MB bandwidth, even if only in the

And my apologies if this turns out to be a simple, obvious answer, but

Hello all
I'm sorry if I'm writing to the wrong list. Until recently and since some
months back, I ran a tor relay under Linux, during daytime (only have my
laptop), with 2.5/5MBps speed. Not much, it took an hour or two to really
start, but it worked, I hope it helped a bit. Now I find I need to

If this were the case I'd be better off by modifying the tor-browser and
leave it running, but I'm concerned by the resources it would take. The
browser alone, freshly started, eats up some 300k of

Well, it seems to be running, as a process, at least. It won't run with
other ports but it does with the defaults ones, fine with me. I had to
modify the log paths to be for win7 and it seems it only starts if run as
admin. Again, fine with me, maybe I'll convince it to run as a service, too.
