The other question is how well some of those tools would scale if everyone were using them.



If it is a peer to peer network I believe it would get more robust as more people join in. Plus, if a ton of people are using it then it would reduce the bandwidth and load of each node if I understand correctly.


That is completely dependent on whether or not each person is consuming more than they are providing.


Unlike with most torrent programs, Tor by default sets up as a client but not as an exit node.

I don't know that I'd want to be an exit node for Tor, given some of the things that people use Tor for.


You can be a node without necessarily being an exit node.
