Comment:

 Replying to [ticket:3825 atoruser]:
 > I run several onion sites on various different dedicated servers.
 > These hidden services are all using Tor 0.2.1.30 (which I believe is the
 latest stable release at the time of writing).
 > They have been using this tor version for many months without issue.
 >
 > Recently myself and others have had spotty results trying to access
 these services.
 > I can take 10-20 attempts always getting the error "[Notice] Tried for
 120 seconds to get a connection to [scrubbed]:80. Giving up. (waiting for
 circuit)".
 > If I watch the vidalia tor network map when its trying to connect, its
 building and closing circuits like crazy.
 > At the time I receive these errors, I am directly connected (no Tor) to
 the hidden service server via SSH and I can see that it is indeed up and
 running, and many people are accessing the site through Tor, but its not
 working for me.

 This sounds like the client-side part of #1297, which seems to have been
 fixed.  Are you using a version of Tor 0.2.2.x before 0.2.2.28-beta?  If
 so, upgrade to 0.2.2.31-rc or 0.2.2.32.
