Hi all,

I use the lasted tor compiled by me from the git source code.

When I run it, I ofter meet the following messages:

($DF924196D69AAE3C00C115A9CCDF7BB62A175310) is failing an extremely
large amount of circuits. This could indicate a route manipulation
attack, extreme network overload, or a bug. Success counts are 52/186.
Use counts are 14/15. 178 circuits completed, 1 were unusable, 125
collapsed, and 41 timed out. For reference, your timeout cutoff is 60
seconds.

Looks like client functionality is working.

($DF924196D69AAE3C00C115A9CCDF7BB62A175310) is failing a very large
amount of circuits. Most likely this means the Tor network is
overloaded, but it could also mean an attack against you or
potentially the guard itself. Success counts are 59/193. Use counts
are 14/15. 185 circuits completed, 1 were unusable, 125 collapsed, and
41 timed out. For reference, your timeout cutoff is 60 seconds.
