[tor-talk] Cannot access tor onion sites via FF

[David Niklas <great123456@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello,
I'm running firefox 61.0.1. I am trying to access the media outlet
defcon's onion site. https://media.defcon.org/ points me to:
http://m6rqq6kocsyugo2laitup5nn32bwm3lh677chuodjfmggczoafzwfcad.onion/

I have network.dns.blockDotOnion false
network.http.referer.hideOnionSource true and
network.proxy.socks_remote_dns true.
Tor's https://check.torproject.org/ reports that I am using tor.
This: http://www.idnxcnkne4qt76tg.onion/ is said to be the tor projects
home page which times out. Defcon's address returns "Unable to connect"
without any perceptible delay.

The reason I am trying to reach defcon over tor is that my connection to
them is plagued with connection and speed problems. First I tried their
torrents, but after a few minutes rtorrent returned an SSL connection
error, and a torrent not allowed on this server error. I notified defcon
and now the tracker is down. Not even a ping responce.
Second, I tried the media server directly, at first it worked and I could
download. An hour later or so, the server began returning SSL connection
problems. Here is a curl dump:

% curl --trace-ascii - \
-o 'Hacking Related Documentaries x265/DEF CON 20 Documentary 1080p
x265.mp4' \ --continue - \
'https://media.defcon.org/Hacking%20Related%20Documentaries%20x265/
DEF%20CON%2020%20Documentary%201080p%20x265.mp4'

It is now going again. For about 30min it was moving at 1/10th speed, now
it is going faster. This is very strange to me...
