Updated torland family. Hope that the new version helps. One of the last messages before update to 0.2.4.17-rc:
Sep 05 21:06:29.000 [warn] Your computer is too slow to handle this many circuit creation requests! Please consider using the MaxAdvertisedBandwidth config option or choosing a more restricted exit policy. [434930 similar message(s) suppressed in last 60 seconds] Because of this the number of exit connections dropped significantly to 300-400. Before this DDOS the exit numbers were around 7000-10000.
