AIUI Tor is way faster than it was a year or so ago? If you run tor 0.2.2.17+, the CircuitBuildTimeout is now automatically learned, and typically results in a value around 3-5s for broadband connections. The other options I think were hacks to try to help make this lower hardcoded timeout value give you more benefit. I wouldn't use them with the new code. -- Mike Perry Mad Computer Scientist fscked.org evil labs
