When I use Firefox and Tor is on and Torbutton is enabled and I want to download a file, say .rar file, and I redirect download with FlashGot add-on to SpeedDownload manager - is this download goes via TOR and is really anonymous? Or only "save as" via Firefox downloader is anonymous?
Download Tor Bundle For Mac
Could anybody PLEASE respond to my question: I tried to setup TOR on my MacOSx Snow Leopard for hours and I could not manage. It was so easy on a Windows PC. All the bundles provided here don't even contain all the software. Everytime I set Vidalia up I get the message "Could not connect to TOR". I changed the path - did not work. Polipo does not work either. It is all a big mess !Could anybody please provide detailed instructions how to set TOR up on my MAC? The Docs on this website are of no great help to be honest.Thanks
that's probably right. i did it a few times. removed everything, tried to install it again. never worked. the install bundle for mac does not even contain tor nor polipo just vidalia. i find it all very confusing and don't understand why cause running it on a windows pc needs a two minutes setup. by the way - could not install it under openSUSE too. So probably i'm just a total computer fool.
I'm on a MacBook running OSX 10.6.6. I've have been using Vidalia regularly for the past few months with no problems, but past few weeks Tor seems to be running really really slow. I been getting 404s and all that crap, taking sevreal minutes to load a page (probably not a problem on my end - I dunno) but I noticed when I look at the network map no locations of the servers are displayed, the map shows no lines, no country flags appear and it seems I been getting the same two or three servers that pop up all the time. I used to get dozens. Anyway I decided to reinstall/update Tor. I removed every piece of Tor per the instructions on the TorProject.org page, then downloaded the latest stable release and installed it - simple drag and drop. Well now Tor will not open. It pops up and says it detected and "unexpected quit" and check the log for the problem. Well nothing comes up in the log - it's completely blank. I again deleted every bit of Tor from my system (per the instructions) thinking there must be some setting that's a problem. Reinstalled the same version again - it won't start up. I even tried installing the unstable version - same problem. What the hell is going on?
I'm on an Intel Mac, I recently installed the latest Tor Bundle stable release, but after starting Vidalia it says "Vidalia was unable to start Tor. Check your settings to ensure the correct name and location of your Tor executable is specified." Under settings where it says "Start the Tor software when Vidalia starts" it just says "tor" and there is no directory listed. Where did the bundle install Tor and how do I link to it?
I am using the latest Torbrowser bundle for intelMac from a usb. The Noscript "Temprary allow all this page" & "Revoke tempoary permissions" buttons do not work, that is the page is not refreshed. I tried the normal Vidalia Bundle for intelmac using the main hard drive and I am encountering the same problem. To enable javascript I have to disable Noscript first! The OS is 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I installed the 32-bit version on my eMac (only machine not on the internal network ;) ) os10.5.8 and it won't launch at all: Onion shows, bounces, then disappears. When I tried to launch from within the bundle, I got the warning that the application won't run on this architecture.
I've got a G4 ibook. I downloaded the latest Vidalia package, with a clean install of Firefox 3.6. The Vidalia turns green and days TOR is connected, but when I try to install the TORbutton, I get the message this is not a "valid" install. I also do not see Polipo in the download file-any ideas as to what is wrong?
TOR button will not install on my G4 ibook/10.4 and Firefox 3.6. Polipo doesn't seem to be in the latest powerpc Vidalia download, either. Vidalis turns green and says it is connected, but the check shows it is not protected.
For TOR to be useable by average people on a Mac you're going to have to revise the way it is downloaded and installed and relative help. I spent four hours trying to figure this out but still can't get it to work. Finally got it running with an included browser only to have it crash and the be left with no clue on how to reopen the browser window without restarting. Too many techies busy with this app and not updating FAQ and Instructions, leaving the general public at a loss and worse, potentially vulnerable when they believe they are protected. TOR should work out of the box without complicated install/uninstall procedures. I highly discourage anyone without expert skills from using this until it is properly fixed for simple users. Now I am left with Tor bit and pieces scattered about my OS conflicting with each other. Reminds me of Windows. Start by removing all irrelevant instructions and FAQ, like 'Install Tor button' only to discover it has been removed from the Firefox add-on site, thus confusing everyone.
Mac user here. Just downloaded the tor browser bundle for mac (am using OS 10.6). The download and extract were successful (straight to my hard disk) and the icon appears ready for launch but the application won't start when i try to open it. help?
Mac browser bundle won't open on OS 10.5.8 either. Click on "TorBrowser_en-US", the icon appears in the Dock, bounces once, and shuts down. I was running the TorBrowser just fine before. I saw a message saying there was a security update so I downloaded it and replaced my old TorBrowser. Now I have nothing. Why won't someone help us Mac people? (And don't say "get a PC" That's unhelpful and insulting.)
same with me. working with mac OS 10.5.8, could not open/install the tor browser bundle, the vidalia.app just won't work because of the error -10810. tried to look up that error, but didn't find a solution. it would be nice to get some help. will try to get a newer OS now, perhaps that will work.
Would someone from TOR Project, PLEASE HELP APPLE USERS!!! I am using 10.6.8. Downloaded bundle, clicked to start, onion turns green, TORBROWSER comes up and then unexpectedly quits... Every time for the past hour !

Digital signature is a process ensuring that a certain package was generated by its developers and has not been tampered with.Below we explain why it is important and how to verify that the Tor Browser you download is the one we have created and has not been modified by some attacker.
Each file on our download page is accompanied by a file labelled "signature" with the same name as the package and the extension ".asc". These .asc files are OpenPGP signatures.They allow you to verify the file you've downloaded is exactly the one that we intended you to get.This will vary by web browser, but generally you can download this file by right-clicking the "signature" link and selecting the "save file as" option.
For example, torbrowser-install-win64-9.0_en-US.exe is accompanied by torbrowser-install-win64-9.0_en-US.exe.asc.These are example file names and will not exactly match the file names that you download.
We now show how you can verify the downloaded file's digital signature on different operating systems.Please notice that a signature is dated the moment the package has been signed.Therefore every time a new file is uploaded a new signature is generated with a different date.As long as you have verified the signature you should not worry that the reported date may vary.
To verify the signature of the package you downloaded, you will need to download the corresponding ".asc" signature file as well as the installer file itself, and verify it with a command that asks GnuPG to verify the file that you downloaded.
The examples below assume that you downloaded these two files to your "Downloads" folder.Note that these commands use example file names and yours will be different: you will have downloaded a different version than 9.0 and you may not have chosen the English (en-US) version.
Tor Browser Developers key is also available on keys.openpgp.org and can be downloaded from -fingerprint/EF6E286DDA85EA2A4BA7DE684E2C6E8793298290.If you're using MacOS or GNU/Linux, the key can also be fetched by running the following command: $ gpg --keyserver keys.openpgp.org --search-keys torbrowser@torproject.org 2ff7e9595c
