Hi,

Since ~two days I noticed drastic slowdown on the TOR network :/

Is this happening for you too ?

Do you know a website (or other) where we can see if the network have a problem ?

BTW, I wanted to post this on their forum but at the end of registration I got:

A moderator must manually approve your new account before you can access this forum. You'll get an email when your account is approved!

Never got the email :/ , for a project that protect user and anonymity I don't see why they use such a huge filter to create account.

I was on dread yesterday and they said that tor is needing more guard nodes because it's under a denial of service attack so if you can either run one or there are several places where you can apparently donate money and someone will run one for you then you should do that.
