Hi everybody
Can someone explain the following tor log entry:
Removed 528 bytes by killing 385780 circuits; 0 circuits remain alive. (it's the nicest one, see below)
Memory stays at 3 - 4 GB before and after. Only tor restart gets rid of the memory.
We love to remove 528 bytes.
Tor log becomes 370 MB within 18 hours.
