Anyone experiencing slowdown using Tor?

[TheBeardedBaby]

The access to the forum is very slow today, when using Tor. On the mobile there are no issues.
Can anyone confirm the problem,  I have a good fiber connection.

Tor always slows you down.

Your fiber connection doesn't help you when using tor at all, regardless of the site you are accessing.

I never had a halfway fast connection to any site using tor, which is understandable given the structure and usage of the tor network.


Can you usually browse the forum at a 'normal speed' when using tor ?

Yeah I know that, just normally takes around a second after I click to open a link, today it was around a 30 seconds, the few times I've tried and just decided to give up and use my mobile instead. Now it looks OK again. I just wondering if it was only me, like the problem with cloudflare yesterday.

BTW congrats on beging Legendary now

Maybe you just got a slow circuit, try switching to another one when that happens.

the problem with tor:

your connection is only as fast as the slowest link in your connection path.

As more and more people are stuck with at most 20mbps upstream (typically 10 or less);  it compounds across users during the ingress and egress of your packet through the tor network.

It's OK now, suchmoon's suggestion worked for at least twice so a guess that was the problem.
I just recently stated using TOR browser. Thanks for the help people, i'm locking the thread.
