 I started a new non-exit relay and I saw my "Average packaged cell
 fullness" is going down slow. Is there something wrong with it?

 By the way, about DNS hijacking, my DNS provider is Google public DNS.

 There is a way to use the tor.exe line command in Windows XP? I use the
 tor browser bundle v3.6 for Windows with vidalia-standalone-0.2.21-win32
