Quote from: samesamebutdifferentTime to follow NW Nugz advice and break out the tin foil! wrap everything and I mean everything in foil including pets and you watch your SR connection fly at incredible speeds, try it mate you won't regret it.Do some reading on the evolution of this botnet, it's been around for quite some time it seems and if everyone updates to the latest version of the TBB the issue will go away.The conspiracy has been while the botnet was in full force multiple other darknet sites like Atlantis were "working" ( although considerably slower ) while Silk Road effectively was not, no point in arguing that point further it seems as the official line appears to be Silk Road handled this just as well as other sites which was just not the case.Personally I'll just guess it was the amount of traffic this time, which Silk Road has proved again and again they're not very good at handling in large amounts. The TOR network gets the blame as always but I'm suspecting it's some other factor at play here as well...
