> Backend error!
> The backend server replied with an error to your query. This probably means that you did not properly format your query. If your query was properly formatted it may mean that there is an issue with your browser/add-ons. Please report which browser/addons/etc. you're using to the bug tracker.
This suggests that the user made a mistake, which results in several trac tickets every time Onionoo is offline. We should improve the error message and make it clear that waiting a little bit might solve the problem. Here's a suggestion:
> Backend error!
> Atlas is unable to get a response from its backend server. This probably means that the backend server is unavailable right now. This can also happen, however, if you did not format your query correctly.

"In the German version of TBB, on the introductory page, there are three different translations for the English 'circuit'. There is: 1. Circuit-Ansicht (which is no translation!). 2. In the explanatory text there is 'Zeige deinen Pfad' - here 'circuit' becomes 'Pfad' (= 'path') and users are told to 'choose'( = 'wählen', which should be "click on" = 'klicken auf' - not 'choose') 'Neuer Pfad für diese Seite'. 3. If you do so and click on the "Informations-Symbol" which is the padlock, you will not get 'Neuer Pfad für diese Seite', but 'Neuen Kanal für diese Seite'. (By the way: this should be: 'NeueR Pfad' (nominative) instead of 'NeueN Pfad' (accusative) - but this is only a minor mistake.)
So you have three names for the English word 'circuit': 1. circuit, 2. Pfad, 3. Kanal
On the right, at the bottom of the introduction. you will read 'Pfad' again. If you click on that field, you will get to Duck Duck Go and you will read 'Circuits' again, and:'Relays'. In the old version of TBB you used 'Relais' as translation for 'relay'. And if you click on the green padlock, 'relay' is translated as 'Verteiler'."
We should pick which word works best and change these strings to match where appropriate.emmapeelemmapeelhttps://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/network-health/metrics/tor-check/-/issues/9631Check.torproject.org message is ambiguous to rational non-technical user.2020-06-27T14:26:41ZTracCheck.torproject.org message is ambiguous to rational non-technical user.Showing an intelligent but non-technical user how to use Tor recently, I decided to direct them to the TorProject.org page and watch over their shoulder as they worked their way through it.

Upon encountering the 'check.torproject.org' message "Congratulations, Your browser is configured to use Tor!" they then used the existing Safari browser they had open.

As a result, some relays (in sample data counted ~800) are included in the bandwidth file without its bandwidth scaled, which could be quite different (higher or lower) than the scaled bandwidth.
This is one of the several reasons of legacy/trac#33775.sbws: 1.1.x-finaljugajugahttps://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/network-health/sbws/-/issues/33472Document that bwauths should checkout stable versions when installing sbws fr...2020-07-14T16:44:07ZjugaDocument that bwauths should checkout stable versions when installing sbws from giti think that if some bwauths are installing sbws from git, they should checkout a tag or a bugfix branch.

https://github.com/torproject/sbws/blob/master/sbws/core/scanner.py#L216
So this means that in this case, sbws would have picked any exit that was not a BadExit, has an acceptable ExitPolicy, and has a consensus weight of at least, well, 2. That's not a lot.
As it turns out, something like 10% of exits have under a 600Kbyte/sec advertised bandwidth. So it seems pretty easy from this weight=1 bootstrap scenario to get paired with an exit that will give poor test results.
Perhaps bwauth path selection should also choose a testing pair from exits/relays with a certain absolute minimum of weight or advertised bandwidth?
