In addition to this it slows things waaaay down for other users if you are downloading lots of data. Bottom line is if you want to download text files or similar it would be acceptable, but no software or movies unless its VERY small. mermie: the whole tor network is essentially a sequence of proxies, but with a much better level of privacy. Solidario: try reading the documentation, to the best of my knowledge the tor protocol demands a flush function so its probably lurking there somewhere... :) Colin: it probably does but it is considered bad etiquette to download large amounts of data via tor, remember that tor relays (the computers that the data is routed through) are run by users like you and most of them have a limited amount of bandwidth available so if on person downloads 700MB or so they may reach the limit allowed (they can set how much bandwidth they wish to give to tor per day or per week, month, etc…) then that relay may be out of action for the rest of the month so it could be unavailable for other users.

When things inevitably get slooow...can future updates include a flush tor network capability? Thanks so much. operaTor is incredibily hussle-free, and works flawlessly as compared to FoxTor, Torpark and other apps.
