I fail to see what difference it makes though. You can still install Polipo and Tor separately and use them together. I assume you must have you audited this âMalzillaâ to ascertain that it's not actually a cunning piece of malware itself. > WGET proxy=--execute=http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8118/ > c8.uk3.in:5754/kx/uy.exe As you type wget in caps, can I take it that you're running on Windows?

Supplying your own proxy won't stop that button from working. However it's worth noting that it doesn't necessarily work as you think: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-talk/2012-November/026568.html Pay attention to Roger's suggested âfixâ and remember that he ought to know what he's talking about. > There was no announcement of a change in tor.announce and it should > NOT be assumed that we read https://blog.torproject.org/blog .

So, to get this straight, you're angry because the free (as in both speech and beer) software you use no longer bundles another piece of free software, which you can very easily obtain directly but are too lazy to do so. You think that's reason to make rude proclamations in CAPS about what should NOT be assumed? If you think this is something that the project ought to still be providing, why don't you volunteer to maintain the bundle? I'm pretty certain that's a better use of your energy than shouting at people and shows a lot more gratitude for the significant amount of time, effort and money that goes into providing you those free anonymous IPs.
