That's getting close to the limit. Usually only high-numbered ports are used for outgoing connections. Since you mention you are running Linux, you may wish to check /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range and possibly widen the range to see whether that helps. E.g., the default range on my system appears to be 32768--61000, which allows at most 28232 outgoing TCP connections that are not bound to specific ports, and fewer if some of the ports are stuck in wait states. /proc settings (as you are probably aware) are usually changed using echo and shell redirection, so you would use # echo 24576 65000 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range or a similar command. > Olaf ---> Drake Wilson *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talk in the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
