The main site has been really slow these last few days..why is that so? Has there been any official word from admin about this issue? Maybe all the lil teens on here got money for xmas and are now trying to buy shit now that they got $ .

Now it is down. I need to get on and finish up an order in the next 5 minutes :(

^^^ It's not down, but it might as well be. I'm logged in but I can't get anything done. I literally had everything in my cart ready to buy (just had to put money into my account) but prices have fluctuated enough so that I barely (less than .01 btc) don't have enough. Need to drop one item to buy the rest now but it seems impossible.

Yeah I'm having the same problem. I found that as long as you only try to load one page at a time and give it a good five to ten minutes to load it'll work. I need to get my orders in because I dried up and still have people hitting me up for more stuff. around Christmas is the worst time to run out of product cuz so many people want to buy drugs.

Agreed, might as well be down.

Idk what just happened but for the past minute it has been like being on clear net. Wish it would stay like this.

Yeah, now it is working really fast for me all of a sudden.

Tornet is just slow, period. Sometimes using new identity helps but in general Tor is much much slower than clearnet. The price you pay for having the freedom to purchase illegal things.

Two changes have occurred; Recently, some of the tor relays say stuff like this "Bandwidth: 61.00 KB/s" which.. I'm sure you can understand, makes tor very slow.
The other thing I think is happening is that SR is rate-limiting users. A certain amount of browsing/refreshing is okay, too much data and you get limited. Likely, the reason incognito-mode is sometimes seen as a solution to being rate-limited is because it tells the server to not even bother sending pictures and the like, thus using less bandwidth.
That's my theories, at least. :)
