It does slow things down a bit so I tend to use it only when I really feel I need to be anonymous. I find it works well with web based email such as Yahoo. It makes the email virtually untraceable back to your IP. Ive used TOR for a couple years. It does slow things down a bit so I tend to use it only when I really feel I need to be anonymous.

I've got several attempts from Church of Scientology International. Check your logs to see if you have similar. I have not noticed any coming from China,,, yet. I don't mind having Tor slowing me down a bit as I have a screaming pipe to begin with. I agree that Peer Guardian does speed things up. I think the two together even the speed. I don't really care either way as when I click on something it is on my desktop instantly, practically. Unless it is a big obscure movie and there aren't many seeders.

Peer Guardian doesn't slow you down. It actually feels to me like it speeds surfing up a bit, by blocking all the crap that goes on in the background with all those corporations and governments and hackers at your backdoor...sniffing your butt like dogs.

Just for fun I opened my Tor network map (I usually leave it minimized) and see that I am now surfing from Brazil. If I hit refresh I am in Spain. Protect yourself! Oh, one more thing.

I have noticed a slight slowdown in bandwidth but I feel it's worth it. Peer Guardian stops the baddies from getting while Tor gives you anonymity. Both of these progs and Skype for telephony or file transfers and you are practically invisible. Unless you want to be by publishing a blog or website.
