I'm new at this, so this might be an easy fix.

Whenever I try to mine I get the following error:

Listener for "Standard": 19/05/2011 02:09:34, Bitcoin is downloading blocks...

Is there something I'm doing wrong?  What other info should I provide?

Thanks!

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

Are you solo mining or in a pool?
Sounds like your solo mining against a bitcoin client that's still syncing up the block chain.
If you're targeting a pool, which?
What settings are setup in the GUI of Guiminer ?

behaigo, you need to wait some minutes-hours.

That's normal while starting with Bitcoin.
