Comment (by mcs):

 brade and I agree that clicking "Open Settings" should stop the bootstrap
 process.

 We have a fix for this, but we experienced a problem:  after interrupting
 the bootstrap process by setting DisableNetwork=1, tor does not always
 resume the process when DisableNetwork is cleared.  It is possible this is
 fixed in tor 0.2.5.x (we tested using TBB 3.6.1, which includes tor
 0.2.4.21).  For now we are leaving the Tor Launcher change on a branch:

 https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/brade/tor-
 launcher.git/commit/bc03f1c43d817d6e815f2a965329c9644618f7ea

 We will test with a newer tor soon and file a bug against tor if the
 problem still occurs.
