Hi Tim

TNX for your fast response. I'm afaid, that I have to stay with my current ISP. However, from time to time he keeps my IP address unchanged for up to 4 days.

The tor directory authorities vote on relays every hour.
There is no way to speed this up.

No, Tor uses your IP address.

I'm sorry, this is just how Tor is designed.
But you are still contributing to the network.

You could try renting a cheap server in a data centre.
Most of them offer static IP addresses.
