 Title.
 When I try to watch a video on a site that's blocked in many countries, I
 manually change the circuit until it the video loads. But the circuits
 keep changing so the video can't be played unless you're very lucky.

 How to reproduce: Establish a new circuit when viewing a website (to see
 that it keeps changing by itself for about 4 times).
 If you need it, I can tell you the website which is most affevted by it
 from my user experience. But I'm quite sure it's caused by the unwanted
 auto-changing.
