Re: [tor-talk] (no subject)
I have tor bundle version 2.2.39-3 and I understand that 2.2.39-4 was recently released. I wanted to know how to go about updating to the new version. Will I mess anything up if I just download the new version and replace the old or should I uninstall the old completely then re-download the tor bundle again. Please help as I love the tor project and I don't want to corrupt the file and I'd like to continue surfing safely. Please help.

Re: [tor-talk] (no subject)
Thnx for responding so quickly!... To make sure I understand perfectly well and don't screw anything up!... I delete the ENTIRE tor bundle file off my computer the just download and extract new one and DO NOT just download new file on top of old one!... Is that correct! Thanks again for ur help!...

There is no server-side rate control, unless there is congestion inbetween, in this case the firefox browser client will delay or not send ack to the web server and so the web server will decrease its congestion window size due to ack timeout, and thus the sending rate is throttled. In the case of tor exit node, I think If the exit node continues to send ack to the webserver when its buffer is already full, the webserver will continue to send packets to the exit node, then what will happen? I think the exit node will disgard the packet and never send ack, so in this way, the webserver will reduce its congestion window and reduce the sending rate ___ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
[tor-talk] Tor web browsing http connection establish procedures
for web browsing I'm a bit curious about the http connection establishment without tor, when we access a website, the procedures are: DNS query :C -> DNS server DNS response:DNS server -> C the client initiate a TCP 3-way handshake:C<-> Webserver HTTP GET: C-> Webserver but with tor, my understanding and questions are: DNS query :C -> TOR network -> exit node -> DNS server DNS response:DNS server -> exit node at this moment, should the exit node return the DNS query to the Tor browser client? and then of course, the client can't establish TCP connection with the webserver, it is the tor exit node who establishes the tcp connection with the webserver, but will the client initiate the 3-way handshake or not? if so, how is the process? without TOR, I think the the end of 3-way handshake will trigger that the client send the HTTP GET with TOR, what will trigger the sending of HTTP GET? ___ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk

[tor-talk] Download speed
When I use the Tor Browser Bundle and will download a file my speed can reach 300 or 400 kb. I think something is wrong, because that is the speed of a normal connection. It is normal to download at a rate so high? Something is wrong? OBS: Im from the latins and i use google translator.

Re: [tor-talk] Download speed
It can depend on your exit node (and the path leading to said exit node.) Can you visit https://check.torproject.org/ and see if it says you are using Tor? If it says you are using Tor, you probably just have a rather good connection. -- Greg Norcie (g...@norcie.com) GPG key: 0x1B873635 On Mon Oct 29 13:50:23 2012, Junior Jr wrote: > When I use the Tor Browser Bundle and will download a file my speed can reach > 300 or 400 kb.

[tor-talk] Tor on Plug PC running Arch
Hello, I'm trying to get Tor running on a plug computer (used to be a Pogo Plug) that's running Arch Linux ARM on it. I'm SSH-ing to it from my laptop as it doesn't have video out. I'm just having some trouble figuring this out. Here's what I'm using for instructions: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Tor whenever I enter "# /etc/rc.d/tor start" I just get a busy signal. I'd like to run a bridge relay, or contribute in whatever way I can. It would be awesome if you could help.

What do you mean by a "busy signal"? Is this on a telephone? :) Also how much RAM does your Plug computer have? As far as I know some Pogoplugs had only 128 MB of RAM, and that might be a bit small for Tor (but could be just enough since you aren't going to push a lot of traffic with that CPU anyway). -- With respect, Roman ~~~ "Stallman had a printer, with code he could not see.

Please read up on the TCP header field 'window size'. The receiver can ACK received packets and at the same time tell the sending side "I don't have space for more data, please hold".
