Title: Tor question, need help please?
Post by: Orinoko Flow on November 01, 2012, 09:51 pm
Can anyone help me ? Everytime i download the new tor browser download it prompts me that i need to update again after loading tor... It never connects to the road or any other onion sites and took many attempts to get on this forum..  I had problems since the clocks changed so i tried changing the clock back but didnt work then i just syncronised the clock and got on here after many attempts and im still getting prompted to update tor!!  It bloody works on a shit laptop windows 7  but its notepad sized and lame..
Even if i did manage to access sr which i can't :-\ i wouldnt want to login without the update if i actually need it.
Also is there anyway of checking what version of tor im using?
Any help would be much appreciated.. :D peace

Just a quick check. Did you:

- Delete the old folder called "tor-browser_en-US"
- Download the most recent Tor browser bundle package
- Extract it
- Click the start-tor-browser file in the new "tor-browser_en-US" folder

?

I have a time out occasionally. I've been using Tor for a while and it has always been like that. It's worse in the busy hours, and better during the quiet moments. Try it various times a day, and see if you notice differences during evenings, mornings, etc.
