Hi,

I'm curious to learn the reasons that various people on the lists, for those 
who are comfortable sharing, why they use Tor. I'm also curious as to whether 
users on this list only use Tor or if there are times they use a normal browser 
(if so what tasks).


For my own part, I use tor when I want to access a .onion site, as a 
"even more private" browser, but also just to access my own 
sites/services from outside my network.


Sometimes I use it for no particular reason at all, under the theory 
that more legitimate traffic helps those who are using tor for 
legitimate (non-malicious) reasons where their safety and security is a 
factor.

Not necessarily. When streaming, bit rate is usually adapted dynamically to fit
the actual line speed, while a download should yield in the resolution you 
requested.
So, total transfer volume is not necessarily equals in both cases.

comparison should be equal , like full video downloaded and full video
streamed.
