Who cares that MS doesn't support it. So you are claiming
that because it runs on Xp the speed testing is failing? I
find that hard to believe.</blockquote>

<div>Everyone using Tor cares. I believe the other posters
are seizing on this detail because it is much more
important for you to upgrade your vulnerable machine than
to worry about what speed is reported. Perhaps it is
better for now that your speed is under-reported, to keep
too many clients from connecting to a potentially
dangerous relay.<br>

I cant upgrade the machine, I'd have to buy hardware and since the
machine is 12 years old, I have no intention of replacing the
failing parts. I am slowly building a replacement server, but until
then, Xp it is. I do not browse, read email, open PDFs, run Flash,
install programs - I dont do anything on that server besides running
the Tor relay (and polipo) and serving files on the local network.
The machine is behind a hardware and a software firewall. The
chances of infection is basically zero, so there is no great rush to
setup the replacement server.<br>
<br>
But since everyone just cannot get passed the fact that it runs Xp,
I guess we will have to wait some months before I can get some real
answers as to the problem I wish resolved.<br>
<br>
Thank you.<br>
Best Regards,<br>
