Since i moved the tor server browsing and others is fine in my 
network.Shame cause i'm a tor sustainer but the cosume of bandwith is 
too high(and also adsl bill) and is proportional to the amount of 
bandwith someone has.I don't use tor as server and client.I have a tor 
aon each machine in my network and the one on the gateway machine is 
doing the server and just that i'm really sorry for me too but i can't 
sustain that.I think tor developpers should repair that.
