Tor should not exist. In theory, it was to help the poor oppressed of China and Iran and others behind national firewalls get access to prohibited web sites. In reality, it is nothing but a mechanism to help law breakers avoid capture by the police. |

That's a rather broad brush...
While it is used for illegal purposes, some laws have been broken in past history for good reason. Downloading files isn't necessarily one I'd put in the list, but perhaps Tor is used in the future (or now even) for some valid form of communication, for someone to mask themselves from a perceived oppressor? |

Right... because you repeatedly saying that will only make it more and more true the more you say it. All laws "über alles" huh. |

That could be said of a lot of things: guns, cars, motorcycles, ski masks, encryption... Just because someone can use something to break the law does not mean it should not exist.  |

Not surprising, considering the source. |

"it is nothing but a mechanism to help law breakers avoid capture by the police."
I'm sure that is exactly how what the police in China and Iran think of it. |

A very simplistic view from someone who lives in a black and white world. The REAL world happens to have a multitude of shades of gray as well as COLORS! People can SAY all kinds of illegal and terrible things, so do you propose people's mouths be sealed from birth? People can THINK all kinds of illegal and terrible thoughts, do you want brains to be removed at birth? People could potentially advocate for all kinds of illegal and terrible things right here on these forums, so should DSLReports be shut down? It's unfortunate that someone will always find a way of perverting something good into something bad, that is human nature. It certainly does not mean that we should throw away all good things to be protected from the bad. That's Patriot Act thinking. |

I only downloaded one program. I'm going to try multiple ISO's of Ubuntu. Maybe I can pull 9MB's. |

Actually it's a great way to participate in chat rooms and message boards with immature people without someone hacking into your computer or digging up your personal information. |

I would pretty much feel the same about sealing people's mouths shut or removing their brains at birth but then again... In some cases, it might be an improvement.  |

said by brianiscool:This is all I could get tonight speed wise It's always a bit of a crapshoot with TOR and I suspect a lot of people have suspended their participation resulting in fewer nodes handling greater traffic each. Once this FBI thing has been dissected and measures put in place to protect against such intrusions, I'm sure people will come back and things will get back to normal. In the long haul, things will probably improve. I'm sure this has put a damper on the kiddie pervs and other felonious traffic, so we'll be pushing around less illegitimate bits. |

You're saying the same thing. Just ask the police in China and Iran. |
