<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Hi,<br><br>Yesterday I downloaded tor-browser-2.2.32-3_en-US.exe and set it up on a USB stick. When I try to start it, it gives a connection refused by peer message just after parsing the GEOP. If I retry, it says Tor stopped unexpectedly. Vidalia hangs after giving the message Bootstrapped 100% done. I cannot get the advanced message log to give any debug entries. <br>If I close that browser bundle and use Task manager to make sure that Tor and Vidalia really are not running, then start tor-browser-2.2.31-1-alpha_en-US.exe which I downloaded on August 21, that version starts with no problem and continues to open Aurora. I am using that instance to send this e-mail.<br><br>I am using these on a Windows Vista laptop in a hotel that requires logging on to their Wi-Fi for a time limited session with a web browser before
they allow access to the internet. I am using IE to log on and leaving it open as they requested.<br><br>David Carlson<br><br>--- On <b>Tue, 9/6/11, sigi <i><tornode@cpunk.de></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><br>From: sigi <tornode@cpunk.de><br>Subject: Re: [tor-talk] TBB 2.2.32 & Automatic Updates<br>To: tor-talk@lists.torproject.org<br>Date: Tuesday, September 6, 2011, 4:45 PM<br><br><div class="plainMail">On Mon, Sep 05, 2011 at 06:36:34PM -0700, Mike Perry wrote:<br>> Thus spake sigi (<a ymailto="mailto:tornode@cpunk.de" href="/mc/compose?to=tornode@cpunk.de">tornode@cpunk.de</a>):<br>> <br>> > Sorry, but at this point, I'm really asking myself, how I can trust <br>> > the concept of the torproject anymore?

The DigiNotar fiasco forced us to release the<br>> Firefox 6-based TBBs as "stable" at least 2 weeks early (if not a full<br>> month), because we were unable to do source modifications to Firefox<br>> 3.6 on Windows to properly deal with the certificate updates and the<br>> initial "Dutch exemption".<br>> <br>> We would appreciate it if you tried to help us by diagnosing bugs and<br>> issues rather than calling our integrity into question over bugs that<br>> slipped in during a very high pressure situation.<br><br>Pardon me for being so rude.
