Turns out the issue was that the default bwauth backend (the server that serves the bandwidth files) went offline during our efforts to shuffle things around so www.torproject.org could survive this week's 15-20gbps ddos attack on our website.

Faravahar and moria1 were still using the default bwauth backend, but we've moved to a different one and things are looking fine again.

Thanks for all of your hard work; Tor has good back office. I've been off-line for a while myself because I've been trying to upgrade equipment (& Tor itself -Error 2...?!?), and I'd rather not run relays unless I'm running them according to Hoyle, i.e. up-to-date and secure.
