I sometimes get ~1MByte/s on exit nodes, which is enough to stream youtube in 720p. If you parallelize multiple TCP connections you easily get ~2MByte/s to a hidden service.
Whole speed = min(your ISP, every relay in circuit, exit node/hidden service) Also the latency has a huge influence on the speed of short lived TCP connections. If you download a 10GB movie, TCP will eventually adjust for maximum possible speed, but if you download many 1MB pictures without pipelining (like HTTP/2 does), it will be slow as hell if you have high latency in the circuit. Latency is randomly determined by where on the globe your relays are located. Marcos Eugenio Kehl wrote: > Hello cripto experts! > > 1. When we will have a super speed Tor?
