Further investigation of log files show that the "Tor MirrorCheck Agent" 
connected to http://tor-node.goodeid.com on port 80 instead of the listed 
port 8081. This was at 21:38 and 21:45 EDT  today. Both of these caused 404 
errors because on port 80 there is a Tor Exit Notice instead of the mirror.

There was also one successful connection to the correct address at 22:27 EST 
today.

Perhaps the script has been using the incorrect address which you recently 
changed it for me and that is causing the unknown status.
