Great it's working now. Thanks! =) And no, the connection's not very slow, but the app transfers at a rather slow speed and only picks up when it gets to "waiting for tortunnel". Still a 3-5 minute wait, most of it on waiting for mirror 2, but that's a more consistent duration with what I've had before. That 10+ min one seems to have been a freak occurance. Was exceptionally long. Thanks for your help. Will point out other endpoints that prevent connection in the future, if that's useful.

nope still doesn't work. slightly different error this time though. it's also accompanied by a windows error that tortunnel stopped responding. --------------------------- Tor Error --------------------------- There was an error while launching tor: torrc generator v0.4 2010 ZZJ Using tortunnel instead of tor.

It spent more than 8 minutes on "waiting for torstatus mirror #2" and another 3 minutes or so on "waiting for tortunnel" before it crashed...

Yeah, I've tried relaunching several times, rebooting and resetting my internet connection too. None of which seem to have done anything.

When I try to start up the application, it goes through the tor process with the loading bar in the middle of the screen for quite a long while and finally presents me with the following error message in an alert box - --------------------------- Tor Error --------------------------- There was an error while launching tor: torrc generator v0.4 2010 ZZJ Using tortunnel instead of tor.

Any idea what might be causing the problem? I don't think anything's changed with my connection in the meantime. Thanks!
