Re: Tor network connections constantly building / failing

What I'm seeing is completely ABnormal from what I've seen for 1 - 2 yrs, over several Tor / Vidalia versions. I often looked at network maps - was never like this.
1) What I described about connections constantly (RAPID fire - dozens, one after another) building, then immediately after 90% of connections 1st pop up - showing "building" - they immediately fail. Problem is, so many fail so quickly (in seconds), fair amount of time, there aren't 3 good (open, stable) connections. Therefore, d/l seems to drop to zero during that time.
2) ** Currently, this behavior does NOT "level off." It continues as long a Tor / Polipo are running (even a day or more). Regardless, in past if I ran Tor for 1 hr, I NEVER saw anything close to this. I don't leave Tor running (for normal browsing) for days at a time. Never have. 

3) Now, my speeds never pick up (for any length of time).

That is normal right after you start Tor up. What your seeing is Tor
is still building circuits. After a short period, it does level out,
then you should only be showing several circuits. Your dl/up speeds
will vary during this and will level off shortly after.

After your connection has been up for a while ie: several days, your
speeds will pick up as the other nodes get to know your node.
Everything is normal of what your seeing.  :)

Thanks for running Tor.

  Recently noticed Tor being slower than usual&  network map shows MANY new
connections building, then failing VERY quickly. (within a sec or so).  Does
this constantly - one connection after another.  Using Vidalia
0.2.1.26-0.2.9;  Torbutton 1.2.5.

Sometimes there are at least 3 connections open - sometimes not.  1st time
I've seen this.

Did close Vidalia / Tor, Polipo, Firefox 3.6.10&  Torbutton, the restart -
couple of times - no change.
During the connection, for brief times, D/L speeds may get up to "normal"
for me - but not for long.

Anyone noticed this or have suggestions?  Thanks.
