aren't tor and onion pairs,why one not ideal while another excellent? confused.
Tor/Onion addresses are great at what they do, but not appropriate to solve this problem.
It's basically ideal for drug dealing when infrequently small amounts of data are exchanged and a crypto payment made.
Not idea for frequently accessing large chunks of data 1-100mb PDFs.
This is where I2P and eepsites shine.
They still go through the onion circuit.
I agree with the GP, distinction you're trying to make is unclear - Tor is a browser that uses onion circuits to access the web, including onion sites. Without onion, Tor is just another flavor of Firefox.
As far as I know I2P is better for the second kind of the job but apparently is not nearly as popular, sadly.
