Fwd: Uninstalling problems

Please make sure to add the or-talk mailing list on Cc: in your replies. Thanks!

The browsers I'm using are IE8 Firefox 3.5.1 3. With the Firefox settings got a new interface, it's a little harder to find. And another problem is I'm a noob to such kinds of problems. Been googling around for answers but can't seem to find them. I even tried erasing any traces of tor, privoxy vidalia in the registry, but it's not completely cured yet. Sorry for such problems to happen, I may had read the warnings from your website, but sometimes it's not user-friendly enough for me to understand completely until I experience it or it doesn't mentions any slow downs may happen including connection time-outs. My guess from what your symptoms are is that your Java/JavaScript setting are somewhat screwed up due to Tor. Maybe you can elaborate a bit more about what error messages you get etc. so we can make a better guess what the problem might be. In Firefox 2, the settings for Java/JavaScript can be changed as follows: Edit-Preferences-Content This might have changed in Firefox 3, maybe someone else can step up and tell us how to change those in FF3? Best, Christian p.s.: Jason's original mail is here: I may had followed your uninstalling process, but the real problem is, your TOR had caused my connection to go haywire and certain websites are causing their Javas to unable to read properly AND webpages cannot be loaded completely. Even after uninstalling, the connection still goes haywire and I'm unable to fix it as though like reformatting may be the last answer to go for. Here are the following websites which TOR causes it to haywire : 1. Deviantart 2. Hotmail 3. Nickelodeon (Official US site)
what is best - speed or stability?
I run my relay on a VPS with limited bandwidth, so have set it to hibernate every day after 1Gb usage. When I set my RelayBandwithRate to 50kb, this means my relay is running for 12-16 hours per day. If I set it to 25kb, it runs all day - and switching off hibernation becomes possible. Which is the most useful option? Longer availability at a slower rate, or limited availability at a higher rate? Thanks in advance, Dave

When I set my RelayBandwithRate to 50kb, this means my relay is running for 12-16 hours per day. It's running longer longer than I would have expected. That may be because it takes a while for the clients to find out that your relay got out of hibernation. If I set it to 25kb, it runs all day - and switching off hibernation becomes possible. When the relay is available all day, it's likely that it will permanently run at the set RelayBandwithRate (that's what happens with my relays). If you're not running a directory mirror, your relay will send and receive about 2 GiB each day (4 GiB total). Which is the most useful option? Longer availability at a slower rate, or limited availability at a higher rate? Someone else may have the answer to that.
Tor for PDA under Windows Mobile 6
Hi to all, Does the Tor for PDA under Windows Mobile 6.0 exist or not? I need browse the Internet under my PDA under WM6 with the Tor, but I cannot find any solving for that.
Speed observations...
Hi all, I've been watching the numbers of routers fluctuate between 1500 and 1800 for some time now. I've also noticed a correlation that my Tor surfing is a lot faster when there are 1800 relays as opposed to 1500. Anyone else notice this? Also, as a side question: At what point is a relay marked stable? Michael

Read section 3.3 of https://git.torproject.org/checkout/tor/master/doc/spec/dir-spec.txt The above will likely answer questions you may have about other flags, too. Scott Bennett, Comm.
