Anybody use Tor? Thoughts? Opinions? Experiences?

I did a search, didn't find if it was discussed before.  Curious about it, wanted to see if anybody has used it.

I use it to stream porn and Pandora radio overseas.

The thing is, it is really slow.  Really, really slow.  And it's always on.  And sometimes, you'll get to a site and it will say you are banned.  I couldn't log on Bioware's site with Tor active because the IP used was banned.  And it happenned a lot.

So when they made it "always on" for security reasons, I had to uninstall it.

But otherwise, it's a fine software doing what it advertizes.

Where does it differ from having a more conventional vpn?

It's published with a free BSD license. Also, like Viper says, it's slooow. When my NSLU was still alive I dedicated 10Mbit of my bandwidth to Tor. If everyone could do that it would probably work alot better.

10Mbit exceeds my total bandwith
