I try to connect to the main site, and get a 'unable to connect' pretty much 22 hours a day. Sometimes I am lucky and get a 2 hour window where I can... is anyone else getting this? I can connect to the forum and other websites most of the time though.

Try clicking "Use a New Identity" in the TOR control panel and then refreshing. I usually do that a couple of times until SR starts working again.
-
^ I just tried that 20 times. Nothing.

I have this same exact problem. Anyone with information to help?
-
**bump**
Same, can't connect at today, actually. I've quit and relaunched TOR few times as well...
-
I had similar problems but finally upgraded to the alpha version of the tor bundle and haven't really had any issues since.

Allways check your TOR is up to the last version, and always get the BOUNDLE from the official web.
Said this, don't worry, it's quite common to get connection errors.. even after changing identity, it's matter of time since you can. It might be because of server load (wich I doubt) or by nodes changing, and some end nodes having blocked Sr maybe? I'm not sure about that last thing , though.
-
this happens to me as well (right now actually). quite a bummer, I will try a new identity and see if that helps.

Where do you get this?

not sure about the alpha version, but you can download tor updates on the main tor page
torproject.org

I hear that setting up your computer to do exit relays helps? Possibly worth trying.
