Thx for your reply.

I'm using privoxy with tor.

My reason is simple. I have jsut installed tor, and I would like to test
the limit. So I test it with all my net applications. And it doesn't
work with rtorrent...I found that stange, so I post. I thought I have
done a mistake in my configuration.

But your configuration files insterest me. So please could you send it
to me ?

Thx
Guillaume
