Comment (by bakertaylor28):
I have also seen this problem. It appears to be an issue with the network
speed when using slower networks such as a 3G network that in turn causes
the bridge node to time out the connection. Also, some cell phone
companies are actively and aggressively blocking bridge nodes as part of
an agenda to assist law enforcement prove that certain IP addresses are in
fact using Tor with respect to certain illegal content found on hidden
services. This may be part of an elaborate traffic analysis / confirmation
attack setup phase, if not an outright implementation. I would try
connecting over a wifi connection to a router with a reasonable speed to
see if the problem is still happening.
