[tor-talk] Re-establishing a Tor circuit without restarting Tor.

[Hongyi Zhao <hongyi.zhao@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

When I running Tor for a while, it will give me the following messages:

-------------
Jan 22 20:02:46.000 [notice] Your Guard superidatmynode1a
($3D1052D37DD20FA9E42CF813CB3B4A735BD119EE) is failing to carry more
streams on its circuits than usual. Most likely this means the Tor
network is overloaded or your network connection is poor. Use counts
are 22/32. Success counts are 97/283. 280 circuits completed, 10 were
unusable, 173 collapsed, and 11 timed out. For reference, your timeout
cutoff is 60 seconds.
Jan 22 20:03:30.000 [warn] Your Guard ireadconf
($B07FCCFAC6131953FE8523787B4A190D16DF6681) is failing an extremely
large amount of circuits. This could indicate a route manipulation
attack, extreme network overload, or a bug. Success counts are 18/153.
Use counts are 5/7. 145 circuits completed, 2 were unusable, 125
collapsed, and 6 timed out. For reference, your timeout cutoff is 60
seconds.

attack, extreme network overload, or a bug. Success counts are 15/229.
Use counts are 3/3. 228 circuits completed, 0 were unusable, 213

($0642D2FF3054F77710D6B2AF1A5584DCF7FC8EDE) is failing an extremely
large amount of circuits. This could indicate a route manipulation
attack, extreme network overload, or a bug. Success counts are 8/202.
Use counts are 2/4. 201 circuits completed, 2 were unusable, 191
collapsed, and 28 timed out. For reference, your timeout cutoff is 60
seconds.

At this stage, basically it should means that the quality of Tor's
circuit is low or unusable.  In order to obtain a high quality of
Tor's circuit, I usually restarting Tor again and again.

So, my issue is as follows:

Is it possible to re-establish a Tor circuit without restarting Tor?
