If you try to close such a circuit, a new one is created immediately. I'd like to have an Option, that, when it is set, has the effect that Tor doesn't open any circuits by itself, letting me - and only me - create circuits manually.
This feature would be handy, if you want Tor to only connect to servers in specific countries or even only specific servers you choose. Because if there are only the circuits you created, all traffic will have to be routed through them, and there will be no chance the traffic is routed through other circuits Tor created itself. Additionally this option would have the effect that you don't need to use ATTACHSTREAM to route every single request through a specific circuit.
