Do you use an anonymous network for downloading?

I2P support anonymous torrents

TOR is good for direct downloads (DDL)

Don't know if others exist...

TOR needs to have a lot of 'background noise' legit use, otherwise the folks needing to hide in the weeds stick out like a sore thumb.

What kind of legit stuff can be done on tor?

I think they mean using it for other purposes like general use. Basically whatever else you would do on a browser, including pirating. Like just open it and use it for all the random stuff you do in your day to day, and if a lot of people do this, it can add additional coverage for people that need to use it for evading dictators and whatnot

i use it for Facebook because i don't want the Facebook embeds in many websites to even pick up that i have the same ip as the dedicated Facebook browser
