Re: Tor Browser Speed -- your Tor connection is only as fast as the slowest hop. The bottleneck most likely isn't your home ISP, but one of the relays in your Tor circuit. Jan was saying you should consider donating bandwidth and becoming a Tor relay. Anonymity works well in numbers :) On Oct

Hi Jan, An upgrade from 25meg to 100 meg won't give you improved tor speed because tor cannot handle anywhere near 100mbps. Fastest I usually see is around 1.5 to 2 MB/s. Well within reach of your old 25meg plan. measurments show me I get between 4 and 8 Mbits/s. However, faster speeds are alwa

hi i've been informed running a bridge relay/node requires 24/7 uptime so i'm building a "Box" to run at home dedicated to a tor bridge. it takes more than a week for a node to start to integrate into the network and every time the node goes down i think you start again. but you can run one vi

Hartmut, Tor is one thing we can contribute forever! Torcloud uses Amazon without paying mostly. Setting it up is a bit confusing but there's probably enough help around to get you through it. Robert > Hi stn, > I suspect I'm to old to understand this kind of stuff, and I certainly > do not wa

Hello, I would think an easy way to get more speed would be have two+ connections? As long as Tor is secure enough for that. As in 2 connections to tor? Not sure how to set that up or program that. Each doing a request for the data? And collecting from each. - Hi, I have upgrad

hi hartmut if you change your mind let me know. i don't mind helping. i guess i'm assuming any bandwidth is good bandwidth for tor so long as i operate the bridge node properly. bell canada supplies the backbone for my "overlay" ISP and i don't much like bell canada either. best steve On O
