#Torrent is the real life solution, as of now.
The reason is simple.
EITHER you get very good privacy via #TOR, for example
OR you get high performance via centralised or otherwise speedy services.
You won't ever get the benefits of #TOR, without poor performance, except #Google throws billions at it, but then it's definitely not safe anymore.
Just recently I read, that #TOR only has like 6000 exit nodes. Like, really? This is the most important privacy network around the globe & we have only like 6000 exit nodes, of which many are probably bullshit, anyway.
So, considering that fact, we aren't even close to getting a performant #Onion network in the near future, except #Google (or whatever too big company) throws billions at it & makes it not safe anymore.
If you wanna have a taste of download speeds via #TOR, try #OnionShare.
