Hi, Yesterday I downloaded tor-browser-2.2.32-3_en-US.exe and set it up on a USB stick. When I try to start it, it gives a connection refused by peer message just after parsing the GEOP. If I retry, it says Tor stopped unexpectedly. Vidalia hangs after giving the message Bootstrapped 100% done. I cannot get the advanced message log to give any debug entries. If I close that browser bundle and use Task manager to make sure that Tor and Vidalia really are not running, then start tor-browser-2.2.31-1-alpha_en-US.exe which I downloaded on August 21, that version starts with no problem and continues to open Aurora. I am using that instance to send this e-mail.
I am using these on a Windows Vista laptop in a hotel that requires logging on to their Wi-Fi for a time limited session with a web browser before they allow access to the internet. I am using IE to log on and leaving it open as they requested.

Pardon me for being so rude. I see how difficult this situation is for you Tor-devs! I think the most confusing point for me is the switch to the TorBrowserBundle. I'm using Tor a lot on my local machine - for xmpp, irc and www, and I'm certain it provides a great service for anonymity. The question for me was, if I can trust this Browser-Bundle enough for now. > > I'm confused. And I'd like some clarification here.
