TOR now has quite some big nodes. If you’re lucky and your path goes through them, you can hit speeds of around 1MB/s - I know I have.
Plus, with a small linux box that downloads the stuff for you overnight, it’s not really an issue. You can use JDownloader with TOR as a proxy. Add links to it to download, go to bed and wake up with everything downloaded 🫰
1MB/s is not enough? Most films are <1GB. That’s <1000s / ~17minutes to download a film. Well enough to watch a few TED talks, read some ArsTechnica articles, or read a single Salon article. Hell, it’s good enough to talk a short walk outside, fill up the dishwasher, tidy up the room a little, or lift a few weights.

I could not live with just 1MB/s down…

Different priorities, I guess.
