I didn't see any mention of Multibit downloading a lot of data but do note that the original Bitcoin application apparently does do that.
However, I don't think this is connected with Tor as I don't think it connects using Tor (I just happen to have installed Tor at around the same time and am using it for browsing).
The concern is the mention of DNS problems in the debug log.
I have also just downloaded and installed the original Bitcoin app that I mentioned, which seems to be doing it's stuff. :-)
Topic: Multibit Still "Connecting..." after an hour? (Read 558 times)
I'm newbie also but I think It downloads several gig of data so doesn't tor slows down ?
Completely new to Bitcoin. Just installed Multibit 0.5.13 on Ubuntu 12.04LTS.
In the debug log it says:
I do have Tor running but I don't think that should affect anything, since I believe this uses the native connection.
Also DNS resolution generally on the machine is performing fine.
Any ideas please?
In the debug log it says:
