If you got unlucky and Tor picked only slow guards, this can cause you poor performance. You can check them out in the vidalia window by noting the first hop in your circuits. There should only be 3 different nodes chosen for that first hop. Note you should not post your guard list in public, as it can be used to identify you. If that is the issue, you can try using bridges to see if that helps, or you could try to stop tor and wipe away your tor state file, which will cause new guards to be chosen. -- Mike Perry Mad Computer Scientist fscked.org evil labs
