It seems there might be a problem with the first kind (which is new in 0.2.8, and used to download the consensus). > > I'd like to know what your consensus download_status_t has for all its fields, particularly the attempt and failure counts. It may well have exceeded the 255 failure count limit. > > I also wonder how #8625 (commit 09a0f2d) affects this, but it is only in 0.2.9, and I'm not sure it would make it any better. To be clear this is "Tor 0.2.9.3-alpha-dev (git-bfaded9143d127cb)" for me. So we are definitely in 0.2.9 territory. But, I am going to move the mystery 1 investigation over to #20499, which looks like it is the same mystery over there. Then we can focus on mystery 2 in this ticket -- i.e. regardless of what our directory download situation is, Tor is supposed to wake up and reset stuff when it gets a new stream request and it doesn't have enough directory information to handle it. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/19969#comment:12> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online _______________________________________________ tor-bugs mailing list tor-bugs@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-bugs
