I've created 200 hidden services before and it worked, but I didn't have much load (incoming connections). If you did this, you would probably want to run more than one tor process anyway for load balancing--AFAIK, each tor process is essentially single-threaded, so if you have 10 cores on your computer, you might want to run 10 tor processes, each with a different DataDirectory and SOCKSPort, and with 50 hidden services. -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
