Comment:

 (have the browser bundle 1.3.24 since a week)

 I haven't got the obliged servers back, until today:

 My irc disconnects while I have the server dieseltorrelay (83.233.38.94)

 It mostly seems to be connected to Brama2 and openBRAMA, which don't cause
 problems, but seem to call dieseltorrelay in a later stage (if not already
 there in the first place).

 And when I want to click dieseltorrelay away, it comes back at the same
 speed, or openBRAMA or Brama2 seems to call it again.

 The days before none of these problems. However; sometimes a server breaks
 my irc, so I just click that one away and doesn't return as I have now
 again with dieseltorrelay (&Brama2 / openBRAMA).

 So I just can't chat anymore, as dieseltorrelay breaks my chat and I can't
 get rid of that server, or the ones that seem to call this one.

 =>

 a)
 Maybe a new feature in Vidalia with the Tor Network Map, so that one can
 specify what servers one doesn't want to connect to?

 b)
 Settings about what features one as user needs, so that servers that
 provide all the users features, get a higher priority in making the
 connections?
