Comment:
Surprised it's an old version, as I downloaded the Vidalia bundle off the
site just before posting in an attempt to fix this. Anyway, I've now
downloaded the latest version of TOR and installed that on top of the old
version. Problem is, I still have the high CPU (uses 100% of a single
processor most of the time).
Interestingly, when I closed most applications while on holiday, there was
no such problem: Tor.exe ran as usual. Typically, I have Outlook 2010 and
iTunes running most of the time along with other programs occasionaly, but
I closed them for a few days, and Tor (the old version) ran fine. As soon
as I started using the PC, the high CPU usage reappeared.
Could you explain why using TOR for torrent tracking is frowned upon, as
it uses minimal bandwidth? I can see why I shouldn't download files over
the network, and I don't because that is very difficult to track. However,
the tracker sends out tiny requests every few minutes, so should have no
effect on the network.
