Title: Can't understand new warning message in Tor
Post by: goblin on February 03, 2013, 07:26 pm

I've been getting this totally to me unknown warning message in the message section in Vidalia lately:


[Warning] Weighted bandwidth is 0.000000 in node selection for rule weight as guard

Can an expert tell me what this means and whether it's something to be concerned about?

Seems to happen with bridges that have zero bandwidth.

https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/1805

If the bridge works, just ignore the warning.
