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 agree if it’s the max speed of you internet line, sure. But I grew up with 56k and didn’t have >1Mb/s (notice Mb, not MB) until I left for university, so waiting for content is totally normal. Especially if that content can wait and if that speed is due to security.
If I were at work and had to wait 20 minutes to download a docker image, that would indeed be unacceptable.
Well, we like quality on our server, everything 4k (if it exists) we recently decided to not take remux since they are often >100GB. But 20GB to 40GB is the norm for our movie files. You gotta use that 10Gb/s up line at our server for something, lol. (I know downscaling 4k down if on bad mobile network is very heavy computing, but in those cases we use the save offline feature of plex)

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

Different priorities, I guess.
No, that’s really slow.

Sure but you didn’t have to download 100MB javascript files and 500 FHD images on each website.
😂 true
