I know I'll get slapped/trolled for saying this, but it really works.Try this link using the .to PROXY. --> ONLY use it as a test. You can see if the site is up and how fast it really is without Tor bundle. Tor is what makes the site seem slow. When you use a proxy link the link below its actually quite fast. Especially in a normal web browser and no Tor.http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion.to/just add .to to any onion address and you can access it without Tor bundle. (Not secure)OF course, anything done through a proxy isn't secure. However, you can still use the proxy in the Tor browser, so at least your IP is safe.Just use it as a test, when doing things illegal. I use it full time for the forums for fast browsing.There are other proxies as well.. .
