Has anyone actually ever succeeded in streaming anything over tor? It’s usually so slow that ordinary html pages take several seconds. I can’t imagine streaming would work...

Just tested a 720p youtube video, works fine. You're likely experiencing high latency rather than low bandwidth.

Still seems silly it's mentioned though, it's trivial to block Tor exits.

https://webtorrent.io is pretty good if you have a decent internet connection

But the question was about Tor, how would torrents solve the low bandwidth problem?
