Command-line web browsing: Configuring tsocks:

For more convenient command-line use, I recommend making a ~/.wgetrc with applications that are not socksified, then download tsocks

Then you can do things like "wget seul.org" and watch as it downloads
from the onion routing network.
For fun, you can wget a very large file (a megabyte or more), and
then ^z the wget a little bit in. The onion routers will continue
talking for a while, queueing around 500k in the kernel-level buffers.
When the kernel buffers are full, and the outbuf for the AP connection
also fills, the internal congestion control will kick in and the exit
connection will stop reading from the webserver. The circuit will
wait until you fg the wget -- and other circuits will work just fine
throughout. Then try ^z'ing the onion routers, and watch how well it
recovers. Then try ^z'ing several of them at once. :)
