    Use 5 flashproxy bridge lines.
    
    flashproxy-client seeks to maintain 5 connected proxies (it re-registers
    if there are fewer). It makes sense for tor to know that there is more
    than one proxy behind the pluggable transport, so that in case your
    first proxy is dodgy or slow, you can try another one.
    
    Some testing in https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/10429#comment:2
    shows an increased success rate of 95% with 5 bridge lines (versus 90%
    for 1 bridge line) in downloads spaced 10 minutes apart.
