Hi,

Since ~two days I noticed drastic slowdown on the TOR network :/

Is this happening for you too ?

Do you know a website (or other) where we can see if the network have a problem ?

BTW, I wanted to post this on their forum but at the end of registration I got:

A moderator must manually approve your new account before you can access this forum. You'll get an email when your account is approved!

Never got the email :/ , for a project that protect user and anonymity I don't see why they use such a huge filter to create account.

There's been a major DDoS against guard nodes lately as well, causing many of them to lose connecting clients so it may have been unaccessible for long enough that it kicked back to relay but I'd ask on the relay-operators mailing list/forum. They've been posting a lot of firewall rules and scripts to fend off attacks.
