Yeah, everybody's right: if you're having trouble, you just need to change your proxy settings to use address 127.0.0.1 and port 9150.Previously Tor would end up listening on a randomly chosen port in Linux, and would always listen on 9050 in Windows. Now it listens on 9150 in both Linux and Windows, and the control port for Vidalia is 9151. I have no fucking clue why they decided to randomly screw us all up, but at least it's not different across platforms anymore... which is good I guess. I'm sure they had a reason for not just sticking with 9050. Not too sure it's really a good one, but I'm sure they have it all the same.
