Tor network connections constantly building / failing

That is normal right after you start Tor up. What your seeing is Tor
is still building circuits. After a short period, it does level out,
then you should only be showing several circuits. Your dl/up speeds
will vary during this and will level off shortly after.

After your connection has been up for a while ie: several days, your
speeds will pick up as the other nodes get to know your node.
Everything is normal of what your seeing.  :)

Thanks for running Tor.
