so how i first noticed was when i couldn't browse to my dirport readme html page after a tor restart. are you saying when it normally hibernates, that page goes down too?
Yes.
When Tor hibernates, it doesn't send or receive any data. That includes ORPort and DirPort requests.
That makes me sad, :-( ;-)
It's the only sensible way Tor can try and limit the bandwidth usage. Someone repeatedly fetching the page could make you waste tons of bandwidth otherwise.
