Excellent Tutorial! Lucid explanation of TCP/IP - the best and simplest analogy I've yet read. You must be a professional tech writer.

I've got tor up and running anew. Thanks!

A couple comments/questions:

1. I'm not obtaining good browsing speed using Tor, and I have clicked the change identity icon many times now. I am doing this as I watch the network view window. In the panel showing the list of active "circuits" (routing networks, no?) I find that they are almost always located in Germany. I also found that right-clicking on the circuits listed in this window allows me to close their connection. I can also see the stats and locations of the servers networked in a given circuit. So I am closing the circuits that are in Europe as much as I can in the hopes of arriving at a configuration that is faster by virtue of being located in the US (where I am), but it seems just trial and error, and further as though some randomizing factor is at play in the determination of the "circuits" that is inherent to the program. Anyway, is there anymore refined way to control the "circuits" your IP utilizes?

2. I notice that when I hit the "Torbutton" that the onion stays green both in the windows icon tray, and in the Vidalia Control panel. Is the Torbutton supposed to actually control Tor, or merely Firefox's use of Tor?

Thanks again for the great tutorial!

OK. Now things are moving along a little faster. I'd say I've got about 70-80% my typical connection speed. It's trial and error to find a fast circuit. Do you know if there are any plugin's for TOR that help with this?
