A branch of the U. Navy uses Tor for open source intelligence gathering, and one of its teams used Tor while deployed in the Middle East recently. Law enforcement uses Tor for visiting or surveilling web sites without leaving government IP addresses in their web logs, and for security during sting operations.
Our old screen had way too much information for the users, leading many of them to spend great time confused about what to do. Some users at the paper experiment spent up to 40min confused about what they needed to be doing here. Besides simplifying the screen and the message, to make it easier for the user to know if they need to configure anything or not, we also did a 'brand refresh' bringing our logo to the launcher. This is one of the most important steps for a user who is trying to connect to Tor while their network is censoring Tor.
We also worked really hard to make sure the UI text would make it easy for the user to understand what a bridge is for and how to configure to use one. Another update was a little tip we added at the drop-down menu as you can see below for which bridge to use in countries that have very sophisticated censorship methods. The proxy settings at our Tor Launcher configuration wizard is an important feature for users who are under a network that demands such configuration.
But it can also lead to a lot of confusion if the user has no idea what a proxy is. Since it is a very important feature for users, we decided to keep it in the main configuration screen and introduced a help prompt with an explanation of when someone would need such configuration.
As part of our work with the UX team, we will also be coordinating user testing of this new UI to continue iterating and make sure we are always improving our users' experience. We are also planning a series of improvements not only for the Tor Launcher flow but for the whole browser experience once you are connected to Tor including a new user onboarding flow.
As the name suggests, MegaDownloader is a lightweight piece of software that acts as a downloader for the mega. The program comes with a clean and minimalist, yet modern interface that is unlikely to give you any troubles.

QA Whiteboard:. Google Chrome and Opera can handle large files, but they require plenty of free disk space on your system boot volume.
We recommend for you to use MEGAsync to download large files. I don't know if this statement is still valid today this article was last updated in August , or if other online storage providers also utilize HTML5 streaming for their download feature, or if this situation is MEGA-specific.
No password is required for the download. The files have no file extension, no usable content and were created with FileTool. If I no longer see any download activity, I will delete them at some point.
