Avoid Tor Browser if you can please, it's slow and the bandwidth might be better needed by people in difficult circumstances.
A good VPN is better for sharing media.
If tor is only used by people in difficult circumstances, it is targetable. The bad guys flood the network with compromised nodes, overwhelm clean nodes, and pretty soon, the network is useless for exactly the people who need it.
The way tor works, it is more valuable to those people when it is used primarily by people who don't need it.
Okay. OP still shouldn't use it for sharing media.
Mind blown by flawless logic
They can track VPNs as Tor traces comparing the incoming and outgoing, making noise helps to make this more difficult for them.
Absolutely no sarcasm intended. I had just never thought of it that way.
Tor browser can be used to access the site itself but don't use it for torrenting itself.
Tor has lots of bandwidth for browsing. Just not for streaming or torrenting. You can use it to browse trackers.
