Red Rooms is about things that happen in the dark corners of the internet. Naturally it found an audience of fans who pirated it there.

    Yes, the TOR network is generally considered too slow for streaming due to its design which routes your internet traffic through multiple relays, significantly increasing latency and making it unsuitable for activities that require high bandwidth like video streaming.

    Pulled from a google search. Guess what Red Room relies on? Seamless streaming. So take that “WUT?!” and your dumb baseless argument and shove it.

    Wow, so salty for being proven wrong.

      Try this instead

      The document you found is probably dated 2014. A lot of the old tor docs are still online.

      I watch 1080p streaming and on demand video all the time. No problem.

      I watch YouTube in HD via pipe over tor all the time. No problem.

      Maybe 10 years ago it couldn’t handle it. When it was all basement rigs.

      There is high volume investment in nodes from a large number of companies and organizations.

      My current connection speed test result is ~50Mbps. Using bridges. To an exit node in the US. More than fast enough for HD streaming.

      If I find a node that isn’t fast, I change it.

      Another thing: there are other ‘dark web’ protocols and services, not just tor.
