Tor network connections constantly building / failing
Recently noticed Tor being slower than usual network map shows MANY new connections building, then failing VERY quickly. (within a sec or so). Does this constantly - one connection after another. Using Vidalia 0.2.1.26-0.2.9; Torbutton 1.2.5. Sometimes there are at least 3 connections open - sometimes not. 1st time I've seen this. Did close Vidalia / Tor, Polipo, Firefox 3.6.10 Torbutton, the restart - couple of times - no change. During the connection, for brief times, D/L speeds may get up to normal for me - but not for long. Anyone noticed this or have suggestions? Thanks. *** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talkin the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
Re: Tor network connections constantly building / failing
That is normal right after you start Tor up. What your seeing is Tor is still building circuits. After a short period, it does level out, then you should only be showing several circuits. Your dl/up speeds will vary during this and will level off shortly after. After your connection has been up for a while ie: several days, your speeds will pick up as the other nodes get to know your node. Everything is normal of what your seeing. :) Thanks for running Tor.

Full bandwidth is not used.
Dear Tor folks, I am still seeing the same problem [1]. In April it used the whole limit of 1 TB and hibernated after the limit was reached, but afterward it only came back to around 100 GB per month. Fast IT is not limiting the bandwidth in any way. I tested that. CPU and memory are not utilized completely either. Here is the output from arm. arm - anonymisierungsdienst (Linux...) Tor 0.2.1.26 (recommended) anonymisierungsdien - 0.0.0.0:9090, Dir Port: 80, Control Port (open): 9051 cpu: 0.5%mem: 92 MB (13.0%) pid: 1186uptime: 14-15:11:11 fingerprint: B3EC1BF5D7F7D724BA634D91BE5D22D2D7A70160 flags: Exit, Fast, Guard, Named, Running, Stable, Valid I only have AccountingMax 500 GB set in `/etc/tor/torrc`. So it must be a Tor problem. As you can see from the graphs the bandwidth usage goes up and down quite often. What might be the reason? Besides it is still below the available 100 Mbit/s. So does rebalancing still have problems as indicated in Andrew’s answer [3]?

Re: Full bandwidth is not used.
Not sure, but mine goes up and down all the time. I am not on a allocation or accounting like you, but I check several times a day generally, but at least once a day the bandwidth usage is different than before. It may still be re-balancing, but I also notice that the mode nodes that are running, the lower usage of bandwidth. The less nodes running, my bandwidth has more usage. Just a thought.

Excessive scrubs
I have noticed over the past 2 weeks, I have been getting an unusual amount of scrubs. It doesn't tell me which addresses are being scrubbed, so I don't know if they are the same or different ones. It does not affect the operation of Tor. Just fills up the logs. Is there a way to have the '[scrubbed]' removed and the address put in its place?

Re: Excessive scrubs
I saw a message from Tor-op in reference to a similar problem and his solution was: Add the below line to your torrc and the scrubbed will be replaced by the domain in question. SafeLogging 0 of which I tried, but it would not stay in the torrc file. It seems to remove it self at some point. As far as I can tell it never worked, but unknown how long after I placed it before it got removed.

Re: Tor network connections constantly building / failing
What I'm seeing is completely ABnormal from what I've seen for 1 - 2 yrs, over several Tor / Vidalia versions. I often looked at network maps - was never like this. 1) What I described about connections constantly (RAPID fire - dozens, one after another) building, then immediately after 90% of connections 1st pop up - showing building - they immediately fail. Problem is, so many fail so quickly (in seconds), fair amount of time, there aren't 3 good (open, stable) connections. Therefore, d/l seems to drop to zero during that time. 2) ** Currently, this behavior does NOT level off. It continues as long a Tor / Polipo are running (even a day or more). Regardless, in past if I ran Tor for 1 hr, I NEVER saw anything close to this. I don't leave Tor running (for normal browsing) for days at a time. Never have. 3) Now, my speeds never pick up (for any length of time). On 10/13/2010 8:22 AM, Jon wrote: That is normal right after you start Tor up.

Re: Full bandwidth is not used.
Paul, Is your relay running on a virtual machine (V-colo)? If so, check your user beancounters, they may show you which resources are being exhausted. Also, do you find any messages in your log?
