Re: Some router descriptors not being downloaded

2008-02-14 Thread Eric C
I think I figured out that Tor needs time since it periodically downloads new router descriptors. However, although the Tor status page (and the directory servers ) show the 3 Tor nodes I am using to be up, I am still unable to build a circuit, even though I downloaded the full list of descriptors.

Some router descriptors not being downloaded

2008-02-14 Thread Eric C
All, I found out that some router descriptors are not being downloaded. For example, on https://torstat.xenobite.eu (the Tor status page), it shows that 1000rpm is up and running. When I start Tor (I just upgraded to the latest stable version to make sure it was not a version issue), it says rout
