Title: Is SR slow or is it just me?
Post by: elmerjfudd on February 06, 2013, 02:16 pm
So I feel like I'm back on dialup.  I know that by it's nature TOR is going to be slower than a straight up browser, but most sites are tolerable.  SR and SR forums seem to take FOREVER.  Is it just me?  :o

It's not just you.
This is probably the busiest site on TOR, and the speed varies depending on the time and what's going on in the world.  I suspect there are plenty of students looking for their March break goodies right now... and if they aren't THEY SHOULD BE.  Gotta expect a little time for shipping fellas.
You can turn off images in your SR settings to speed browsing the main a bit... but then you don't get to see all the pretty pictures!

It's not just you. SR + SR forums are painfully slow sometimes.

Try getting a new identity in your tor settings. That helps, according to some folks. (search forums)

Thanks for the feedback.  Glad to know it's not just me.  I'll try changing the identity and see where that gets me.
