Package: torbrowser-launcher Version: 0.2.0-2 $ torbrowser-launcher Tor Browser Launcher By Micah Lee, licensed under MIT version 0.2.0 https://github.com/micahflee/torbrowser-launcher Updating over Tor Checking for update Downloading https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser/RecommendedTBBVersions Download error: Connection was refused by other side: 111: Connection refused. <class 'twisted.internet.error.ConnectionRefusedError'>
### "Tor Browser" popup dialog appears: Error starting download: Connection was refused by other side: 111: Connection refused. Are you connected to the internet? An strace reveals it was trying to connect to 127.0.0.1:9050, not to the internet; code inspection reveals this to be a hard-coded SOCKS address. The preceding "Downloading https://www.torproject.org…"; message makes it look like it was www.torproject.org that rejected the connection. Nothing in the torbrowser-launcher man page, any included documentation, or the console output notes a SOCKS connection is required or gives the expected address. "Updating over Tor" is a hint but is not obvious. The launcher should at least print the address it failed to connect to. Ideally, it should be able to differentiate between a failed connection to the SOCKS proxy and an error returned by that proxy, and replace the "Are you connected to the internet?" message in the former case. -- Michael
