Comment(by runa):

 Replying to [comment:3 phobos]:
 > I was unaware we still ship polipo in our bundles, nor have the software
 pointers to it.  Polipo and privoxy are no longer needed, and haven't been
 for ages.  Polipo/Privoxy were needed when Tor's average latency was 10+
 seconds.  Now, with tor's less than 5 second response, on average, even
 firefox 3.6.18 using socks direct to Tor rarely results in a confusing
 'network error'.

 I can confirm that we are shipping Polipo 1.0.4.1 in the stable Vidalia
 Bundle for Windows. We should build new packages and update the website if
 Polipo is no longer needed.
