 Tor: Volunteer
Tor servers are not stable on Windows XP currently, because we try to use hundreds of sockets, and the Windows kernel doesn't seem capable of handling this.
Because Tor has separate TCP connections between each hop, if the incoming bytes are arriving just fine and the outgoing bytes are all getting dropped on the floor, the TCP push-back mechanisms don't really transmit this information back to the incoming streams.
Tor circuits are built one hop at a time, so in theory we have the ability to make some streams exit from the second hop, some from the third, and so on.
