Controversial take: TOR shouldn’t be used to download large amounts of pirates stuff. The network is already slow and congested and should be kept available for people that need it to fight censorship or other forms of oppression.
Why not get a VPN? Even a free one like Proton allows DDL and gives you protection. And it’s also faster.
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

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?
