Ok, well I have not much understanding of what is going on, but I can say that the tmobile connection settings don't have a proxy set. I don't understand proxies well, I'm afraid -- I understand the basic principles, but something hasn't clicked in my brain.
It tells me that server_port = 9050 in tor-tsocks.conf (in the /etc/tor directory on my N900), so I guess that means I am using a proxy.
I'm not using privoxy; what appeals to me in using this tor package is that I don't need privoxy.
So maybe you are right and maybe the app mgr isn't following the proxy? I don't know what to do about this.
This whole issue is of limited importance to me, because usually I am at home and can just use my wireless instead of tmobile for web access anyway. But it's a learning opportunity.
I mentioned that Feedingit doesn't work for me when I use Tor and tmobile, but I have since discovered that the default rss program does work for me. But I also found that Feed Circuit doesn't work, so two out of three rss packages don't work for me. Interesting clue.

I don't seem able to download anything from within app mgr or using apt-get install. I can't download any feeds using feedingit. I can't download any books.

This never seems to finish "Connecting..." for me. Log file from the applet menu doesn't show anything useful really.

I'm dissecting the logs now. It makes connections and pull relays just fine, seems to die out on /tor/server/<HUGEHASH> and makes more attempts later.
Previous version seemed to work fine. I'll pop over to an older package and see what's changed.

Thank you for creating this application. Very impressed.
What would be the best way of configuring Tor to use a specific country as an exit node?
(I looked through this thread and other sources for an answer, but could not find one)
Keep up the good work!
