Comment (by atagar): Hi Karsten. This sounds an awful lot like DocTor (download descriptors on an hourly basis and check a series of characteristics). That said, honestly I'm unsure you need either stem or txorcon for this. If all you want is to download descriptors won't cron and curl do the trick? Stem's benefit is that it **parses** descriptors and can download leveraging directory mirrors. As for txtorcon, I'm unaware of any descriptor capabilities it provides (meejah can correct me wrong but it's solely a twisted control port controller). Would you mind further describing what you're hoping for one of these to provide? If you'd like a simple example of downloading descriptors [https://stem.torproject.org/tutorials/mirror_mirror_on_the_wall.html #where-can-i-get-the-current-descriptors our tutorials], [https://stem.torproject.org/tutorials/examples/download_descriptor.html demos], and [https://gitweb.torproject.org/doctor.git/tree/descriptor_checker.py doctor] have examples. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/28320#comment:1> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
