It’s been 13 yesrs after this blog was written. Does the claim still holds true?

        Better, because it is free and secure. And at same time you are torrenting, you are helping the network. But a downside, it is the speed and amount of peers you find is less compared to the clearnet. Also it is not the best option to surf the clearnet, tor is better at this.

      Thanks. I was hoping 13 years will bring some improvements but sadly seems like not.

        I don’t understand what the down votes are for. Disagreement? What’s wrong in hoping for improvements in a 13 years gap? I understand and agree that BT over Tor is bad, but two doesn’t conflict.

          hoping for improvements

          There have been improvements, just on the fronts you haven’t been looking for. Also, if I am correct, torrenting over Tor would be painfully slow compared to normally doing it or via a VPN. It is not worth the hassle.
