That is how I already use it.
If __DisablePredictedCircuits would obey it absolutelly, then I wouldn't have to resort to __LeaveStreamsUnattached
;)
Ie:
When __DisablePredictedCircuits = 1:
If in target node's descriptor is written Exit and it rejects port 80 and it is STILL used to get web page from port 80,
Tor WILL arbitrarly build completely NEW CIRCUIT, and exit randomly!
Tor build circuits when (__DisablePredictedCircuits = 1) in this cases:
for user traffic that no current circuit can handle,
for testing the network
and our reachability...
Finally:
__DisablePredictedCircuits = 1, doesn't give absolute control over circuits!
That is a problem. So I have no option but to pair it with strem-control-super-fun-time!
:P
