Who cares that MS doesn't support it. So you are claiming that
because it runs on Xp the speed testing is failing? I find that
hard to believe.
Everyone using Tor cares. I believe the other posters are seizing on
this detail because it is much more important for you to upgrade your
vulnerable machine than to worry about what speed is reported. Perhaps
it is better for now that your speed is under-reported, to keep too
many clients from connecting to a potentially dangerous relay.
I cant upgrade the machine, I'd have to buy hardware and since the
machine is 12 years old, I have no intention of replacing the failing
parts. I am slowly building a replacement server, but until then, Xp it
is. I do not browse, read email, open PDFs, run Flash, install programs
- I dont do anything on that server besides running the Tor relay (and
polipo) and serving files on the local network. The machine is behind a
hardware and a software firewall. The chances of infection is basically
zero, so there is no great rush to setup the replacement server.
But since everyone just cannot get passed the fact that it runs Xp, I
guess we will have to wait some months before I can get some real
answers as to the problem I wish resolved.
Thank you.
