-Encryption, anonymization and multiple hops come with a price. Tor slows your network traffic, since the path that packets take is more complex (circuitous) than with normal traffic. You will probably not want to send interactive traffic over the Tor network. Nor is it recommended that you do heavy downloading (such as Torrents) via Tor. The multiple hops increases latency significantly.+Encryption, anonymization and multiple hops come at a price.
