For those of you who are not subscribed to or-announce and/or have<br>friends who use Tor, the latest Tor stable should provide significant<br>performance/capacity increase once most clients upgrade. According to<br>my measurements with TorFlow, there should be roughly four times as
<br>much capacity once the network rebalances.<br><br>In addition, many users should experience noticable improvement in<br>performance just based on the fact that we are choosing guards<br>in proportion to their bandwidth and expiring guards that were
<br>selected with the buggy uniform algorithm.<br><br>Also, once the network is balanced, we can begin to investigate both<br>reliability scanning options and Johannes Renner can finish his<br>Master's Thesis on performance enhanced path selection. :)

We appreciate it.<br><br>I noticed the performance gain from the very first time I used the new release, and continue experiencing faster connections. I was able to download a 30MB file the other night at a rate of 250KB/sec consistently throughout the entire download.
