 > What are the servers? And the IPs?

 This could be a problem with Tor, my ISP, or me.  I appreciate any
 assistance, so we can get these fast exit nodes back online.

 NOTE: When I uninstall Tor, my IP addresses correctly appear as being in
 the USA, and my speed jumps back up to normal.  With Tor installed, I can
 shut down Tor, flush dns and get a new IP address--but speeds remain slow,
 and the IP still shows as being in London.  It seems Tor is having some
 odd effect on my IP or ISP.

 (My ISP is a small company--I'm one network switch away from fiber optic
 lines, baby :)

 I'm not sure what you mean by "what are the servers"...  One is my
 personal Win7 custom desktop, a super stable Asus motherboard, i5, 16GB
 ram.  IP is 108.169.225.6 -- Speedtest locates this as being in London,
 but whatismyipaddress.com shows it as being in the middle of the ocean--an
 anonymous proxy, even though the IP seemingly belongs to my ISP.

 The other server node is an OEM XP Intel Core2 with 8GB RAM--it does
 nothing other than serve Tor.  IP 108.169.227.243, also located in London,
 and as a proxy in the ocean.

 Each is connected to a separate 30Mbps down / 20 Mbps up / 5 ping
 connection.

 Thank you in advance for all your help.  I've met a half dozen people who
 have been helped by Tor, and it encourages me to keep on serving :)
