Hi guys

I, i just changed my two Servers RMLAnonSrv1 and RMLAnonSrv2 from 
0.1.2.14 to 0.2.0.2 Alpha and noticed some strange behaviour.
I am not sure if this is the right place to post this, these could also 
be vidalia bugs.

Case1:
    In case of a bandwidth upgrade from my ISP i had to restart my two 
cablemodems and therefore also my Tor's. Then i saw in the logs that 
that they didn't update their IP         address to solve the problem i 
clicked the update button in vidalia which showed me my updated IP.
    But, after i saved, it wasn't written in the config, even if i 
edited it manually, saved the file and restarted tor & vidalia, the old 
IP address seems to be rewritten in the config         file.

Case2:
    I set the two options RelayBandwithBurst and RelayBandwithRate, i 
didn't saw any difference in bandwith consuming or in speed.
    I also noticed, that the two old options BandwithBurst and 
BandwithRate reappeared in the config file after i changed my Bandwidth 
to 100 kb/s and save that  in vidalia.         After reopening vidalia, 
the Bandwith was set to >1.5 mbps.


Thanks for the great work on anonymity your doing, sorry for my bad 
english, and hope somebody can help.
