If set to 1, Tor will fetch every consensus flavor, descriptor, and
certificate that it hears about. Otherwise, it will avoid fetching useless

certificates it does not trust. Tor stops fetching descriptors if it
hasn't built any circuits lately: this option makes Tor keep fetching

If set to 0, Tor will avoid fetching useless descriptors: flavors that it
is not using to build circuits, and authority certificates it does not
trust. When Tor hasn't built any application circuits, it will go idle,
and stop fetching descriptors. This option is useful if you're using a
tor client with an external parser that uses a full consensus.

them to build circuits. (Default: 0)

building circuits. (Default: 0)

[[DirCache]] **DirCache** **0**|**1**::
When this option is set, Tor caches all current directory documents and
accepts client requests for them. Setting DirPort is not required for this,
because clients connect via the ORPort by default. Setting either DirPort
or BridgeRelay and setting DirCache to 0 is not supported. (Default: 1)
