Why won't TOR connect?
#1
I have an intermittent problem with TOR not connecting. For instance, this morning I launched TOR and each of my five tabs displayed the Connect to Tor page with the
"Always Connect Automatically" checkbox checked and then absolutely nothing happened. I had the same situation yesterday and resolved it by closing Tor and re-opening it but today that makes no difference: I still have five tabs showing the Connect to Tor page but none of those pages show any sign of actually connecting.

Yet one very odd thing *is* happening: Task Manager says Tor is the biggest single user of my CPU at very close to 40% so it seems to be trying to connect but failing.

Okay, I finally got it to connect by killing Tor in Task Manager and then relaunching; now four of the five tabs connect and present the relative pages. (The third tab, which is supposed to display thefutoncritic.com fails to connect but I've had that symptom for weeks now so I just open that page in Firefox if I need it.)

I'd be interesting in knowing:
1) what keeps Tor from connecting when it is in "Always Connect Automatically" mode
2) why it can't seem to open thefutoncritic.com (it always gives me a timeout message eventually).
