Strange behaviour of Tor 0.2.0.2 Alpha & vidalia 0.0.12

Matthieu,

I also have similar incompatibility between tor 0202alpha and vidalia 0012.
Vidalia is not updated to work with tor 0202alpha.

Did you notice that vidalia creates a new torrc file in it's own folder?
Did you edit the settings in that file, or in the old torrc place under
documents and settings? With newer versions of vidalia, the old torrc
file isn't used anymore.

It works for me if I edit the settings in the torrc in the vidalia
folder. Vidalia doesn't overwrite them if I set them in that torrc file
directly, without using the vidalia settings menu.

RelayBandwidth settings work very well on my computer. I also set the
normal bandwidth settings to restrict my own tor usage, otherwise I get
huge bandwidth "spikes".
