Comment:

 Code looks reasonable to me.

 It would be nice if the new code was also tested.

 Also, you might want to check dormant mode and see if you need to disable
 that too, since if your tor thinks you are not using it, it will go
 dormant in 24h and stop downloading consensuses etc. The right way to
 disable dormant mode is to send the `ACTIVE` signal with the controller
 every once in a while. I'm not sure if this applies in your case, but I
 noticed the new torrc options you added are relevant.

 I'm marking this as merge_ready for the purposes of code review, but you
 might wan to add unittests and check the dormant thing. If you do, let me
 know and i can review your changes as well.
