We appreciate it. I noticed the performance gain from the very first time I used the new release, and continue experiencing faster connections. I was able to download a 30MB file the other night at a rate of 250KB/sec consistently throughout the entire download. We updated Tor in JanusVM and will be releasing a new version soon. best regards, Kyle Williams http://www.janusvm.com

Excellent. > The config file has comments for those wishing to use it with Tor. Could I please see a copy? I'm rather keen on having the default installation of Polipo be roughly the same on all platforms. DJB is annoying, but he often has a point. Please see http://cr.yp.to/compatibility.html especially the last paragraph. > Juliusz, feel free to link to it from your polipo page. Done. Juliusz

It's located at http://interloper.org/tmp/polipo/. The tarball contains my 'contrib' dir designed to be extracted in the polipo-1.0.2/ dir. I've personally tested it since the 1.0.2 release and feel it's ready for general usage. The config file has comments for those wishing to use it with Tor. I've signed it with the same key I use to sign the official Tor packages. Juliusz, feel free to link to it from your polipo page. And yes, I still used the custom Makefile to make my life easier. In the future, I hope to have less time between release and dmg availability. Feedback and comments welcome. -- Andrew pgps9lyQ541JT.pgp Description: PGP signature

Well done and thanks for that! Maybe now it is possible again to persuade friends to use Tor. Thanks again for your work. Best regards, Joerg
