    I haven't used Tor in a while, but now I want to use it to start creating accounts. Except that now it seems to be really slow no matter how many times I try to change identities. When I used it before, I could load neo in 3-6 seconds. Now I'm lucky to get there in 10.
    Did something happen to it recently that it became slower in general, or is there something amiss with my connection?
    I know the speed is affected by how many people use it and how close they are to you, but this seems like a pretty steep drop in wait time.

    A possible cause could be slow Neopets servers because of all of the maintenance they have been doing lately.

    Nope it's not just Neo that loads slowly, it's everything, so that rules that out. I think I'm just gonna have to accept the slower connection.
