I thought it was 9051 with the new Tor.  Great, now you've got me wondering which it is. Huh Roll Eyes Wink

You can speed up Tor and reduce the time it takes the bitcoin client to connect by adding a list of fast exit nodes to the torrc file and the command "strictnodes 1".  You can also put several "addnode" commands with ip addresses from http://blockchain.info/ip-log in your bitcoin.conf file.  The second option is easier.

here is example format for the addnode commands in bitcoin.conf:
Code:
addnode=176.248.161.217
addnode=24.49.122.169
addnode=77.234.142.92
addnode=72.135.116.119
addnode=160.36.11.83

Clicking "New Identity" in Tor usually fixes any intermittent connection problems. Also remember that Tor can be very slow at times, sometimes taking several minutes to establish a connection, so be patient.
