The Tor relays are run by volunteers in a decentralized way. So all relays are not of the same quality. Some are big and fast, while some others are smaller and slower. As a whole, the network could be faster if it had more capacity. To improve the capacity of the Tor network, you can either run a Tor relay yourself or [help existing relays](https://torservers.net/members/).

Tor provides anonymity by building circuits with 3 relays. So, instead of connecting directly to the destination server, a connection is made between each relay of the circuit and this takes more time.
Tor proporciona anonimato mediante la creación de circuitos con tres repetidores. Por lo tanto, en lugar de conectarse directamente al servidor de destino, se establece una conexión entre cada repetidor del circuito, lo que requiere más tiempo.

Furthermore, Tor tries to build circuits with relays in different countries which make connection travel more and appear slower.
Además, Tor intenta construir circuitos con repetidores en diferentes países que hacen que la conexión viaje más y parezca más lenta.

Some people misuse the Tor network, sometimes on purpose or sometimes by
lack of knowledge. For instance, Tor is sometimes used to conduct
[[!wikipedia Ddos#Distributed_attack desc="DDoS attacks"]]. By
doing this, the Tor relays are the ones who actually suffer from the
attack, instead of the intended target. Some people use [[!wikipedia
Peer_to_peer desc="peer-to-peer software"]] through Tor which
is bad for the network.
Algunas personas hacen un mal uso de la red Tor, a veces a propósito o a veces por
desconocimiento. Por ejemplo, Tor se utiliza a veces para realizar
[[!wikipedia Ddos#Distributed_attack desc="Ataques DDoS"]]. Al
hacer esto, los repetidores de Tor son los que realmente sufren el
ataque, en lugar del objetivo previsto. Algunas personas utilizan [[!wikipedia
Peer_to_peer desc="software peer-to-peer"]] a través de Tor, lo que
es malo para la red.
