Though I might agree, more perhaps from the humor aspect :) We all know telling users not to do something, that is at least marginally possible, doesn't work. Lots of apps are going to have many connections going up and down. Chat/mail networks, the new P2P social nets, search and archive engines, network stats, even filesharing/torrenting. Anything that has a distributed model will be doing some or all parts of the HS setup and transit. Even a popular onion site has to create piles of outbound circuits to service demand. Saying "Don't do it" would be putting the heads in the sand. Anyway, I posted one particular usage pattern earlier. I can get a steady pool of about 15-20 going before the local CPU bogs down. As for making Tor better... Roger said some things in: "hidden services and stream isolation (file transfer over Tor HS speedup?)" that I'll look at again. For those interested... a run log respectively for tor, streams, polipo and wget. # tor 1899 Closing stream for '80bit.onion': hidden service is unavailable (try again later). 19 Tried for 120 seconds to get a connection to 80bit:port.
