Re: Problem bootstrapping. Stuck at 5%

Hello.
I have wanted to understand more about these Vidalia/Tor torrc files and just how and where one "edits them." In other words what do I write, where and in what manner?
I keep following or-talk in the hopes I will glean something from what is posted and I think I am still visualizing the way Tor, Vidalia and Privoxy used to look in my Library from several years ago.
I wasn't really trying to do anything but simply find the file, look at it and see if I am able to understand or figure out just how I would change it (edit torrc), if the need arose or I felt brave enough.

I generally have had no problems over the last 4-5 years using Tor but don't feel I understand it any more than I did then. Now it is much easier to use and I'm not sure I need to change anything but I still keep in mind the idea of being able to eventually become a Tor server. Thus, I need to learn a lot and it looks like Mt. Everest to me. :D

Thanks

What are you trying to do that cannot be accomplished in Vidalia?
