I can offer 29 for the Rust Coat just co me <| sep |> My understanding is that it is always that slow but that the supposed red rooms require that you download a different type of software to access them . Of course , nobody investigating these rooms wants to download shady and potentially dangerous software , so nobody ever produces any hard evidence . That said , part of Tor ' s speed issues are due to the processes by which users are made anonymous . So it stands to reason to me that streaming any truly illegal content anonymously would require similarly slow speeds . If you ' re willing to put up with Tor ' s speeds to look at notparticularlyillegal shit , surely you ' re not going to suddenly sacrifice your anonymity when it comes to the truly illegal shit . Perhaps the idea is that the red rooms are open so briefly that law enforcement never realizes they ' re there , but I can ' t imagine taking that risk and I don ' t personally see a satisfying explanation for any of this .
