Comment (by sisbell):
Tor bootstrap won't use the files/Download directory. This is something
related to the firefox code. Of all the Android versions, !KitKat has the
most problematic network stack when trying to create internal ports and
use proxies and VPN. In some cases, its completely broken.
On startup, the app prints out the error stream of the Tor process. If you
aren't seeing that then it may be something to do with being unable to
read or process the torrc file. I'll add this configuration check in the
next version (I'll get an earlier version for you to test so we can see if
that is the problem).
Can you try and see if Orbot works on your version of KitKat? That would
help narrow down what the problem is. If startup works with Orbot, then
our issue is unlikely a network issue and would likely be an issue with
installation and configuration.
