Name: privoxyTor Purpose: Using multiple Tor connections simultaneously

Narrator: In a project, I wanted to use multiple Tor connections to anonymously crawl a website. I googled and got a good answer for using one instance of Tor at: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9887505/changing-tor-identity-inside-python-script But for multiple instances, how could we could that? I decided to write a Python script automating the configuration process and making Tor easier to use. I hope it works out well for you!

Usage: Before running the demo accompanied with this script, you have to prepare prepare directory /abstract:

1. Copy the installation of Tor to /abstract/tor
2. Copy /conf/tor to /abstract/tor
3. Copy the installation of Privoxy to /abstract/privoxy
4. Copy /conf/privoxy to /abstract/privoxy
