https://support.torproject.org/misc/misc-4/ https://support.torproject.org/misc/misc-4/ links to TODO which says "We've been saying for years not to run Bittorrent over Tor, because the Tor network can't handle the load;" and links to a dead page "Why Tor is slow". I googled that and found https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Why_is_Tor_slow#Misuse_of_the_Tor_Network https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Why_is_Tor_slow#Misuse_of_the_To... and https://tails.boum.org/doc/anonymous_internet/tor/slow/index.en.html https://tails.boum.org/doc/anonymous_internet/tor/slow/index... which sound like they were both sourced from that defunct page.
So, if you call it a stupid myth, please provide some credible proof. The Tor developers as well as the maintainers of two highly respected tools built upon Tor disagree with you.
- staringback 4y ago> We've been saying for years not to run Bittorrent over Tor, because the Tor network can't handle the load;" 12 year old blog post. Both the tor network and internet as a whole are completely different. > two highly respected tools built upon Tor disagree with you Both of those pages have a citation that says "it is bad.... just cause it is okay!" The credible evidence is in my original comment, that shows hundreds of gigabits being underutilized on the network.
