Re: [Trisquel-users] Best way to watch Youtube videos?

[gnuser]

I understand your fears and a few years ago it was so that the network was  
unstable and it couldn't reach high speeds, not even handle a too large  
number of users. There was a lot of work put into making the network more  
sustainable and resilient and it turned out that when a bot-net tried to work  
inside the Tor network, they could sustain the traffic for a few days without  
major issues. So, after that a lot of new nodes came into the network, and  
the Tor Network is now fast enough to handle modern connections in most  
places of the world and scales to as many users as needed. There is no reason  
NOT to use it to high-bandwidth tasks, especially because like you said that  
increases the anonimity of the network A LOT.

Trust me, right now there is no problem using Tor for youtube videos and  
Facebook pictures of funny cats. I would maybe suggest not using HD content  
and the like. Other than that, go ahead!
