Re: [tor-talk] OnionBalance Hidden Service has over 1 million successful hits in just 3 days



Seems plausible, though from what I have logged it's hard to tell. All
the time calculations are 0, which may mean that curl completely failed
to connect, or that it's counters don't work if the connection fails
(I'm not sure which is true).

I forgot to tell it to add a timestamp, so comparison against your logs
would be nigh on impossible - have set the same script running with
timestamps added, will keep an eye to see whether any failed connections
have been logged.

I do, however, have some entries in my tor client logs

Jul 08 09:03:55.000 [notice] Rend stream is 120 seconds late. Giving up
on address '[scrubbed].onion'.

(time is UTC) 

though there aren't enough to account for all the failed connections.
