@talviunelias the question is not what required #Tor but what did not !

If you're stuck on #EDGEland #2G speeds you need @torproject as #PerformanceProxy because #MNOs amd #MVNOs in #Germany do #throttling not by negotiating a lower #bandwith or lower #PacketRate, but by just #dropping packets.

And that fucks up everything, sith data speeds beingbeffectively on-par with #Iridium!

OFC they did that to force people to pay more for overpriced data packages...

I just said "Fuck you!" and when I didn't #Browse purposefully started #BitTorrent|ing a shitload of #FLOSS and espechally #Linux distros because with forced disconnects and absurdly low speeds, even #DownloadManagers like #jDownloader didn't work amd I needed to up date my shit anyway...

@Elizafox I usually tend to seed mostly smaller FLOSS stuff and plan to distribute @OS1337 via #BitTorrent (and ideally #IPFS as well) basically exclusively.

I mean, I could abuse #GitHub for that but I think it would make it more resilient to truly #decentralize amd merely add GitHub as a "#WebSeed"...

#SharingIsCaring and my record once was 69,4201 (I kid you not) for some obscure LiveCD.

BTW: Fuck Companies like #Microsoft, #Apple & #Google that to this day don't use #BitTorrent to efficiently download amd distribute their #Installer images on one end but also actively anthagonize #DownloadManagers and #CachingProxies...

You know how long it can take to download #AOSP & #VisualStudio over #ADSL or a single #ISDN channel?
