Are any of you familiar with TOR? Here is a video discussion: https://media.torproject.org/video/tor-internet-days-2010.mp4
How successful is it in keeping your location private? How does it compare to a traditional VPN?

I used TOR a while back and found it to be very slow and unreliable.

TOR is decent from my opinion. But I like VPN's better (HSS/OVPN/Cyberghost) since they're faster.
But TOR is much more convenient since you can just put it in a flashdrive and run it almost anywhere. -
VPNs aren't exactly trustworthy though- there have been cases where they immediately gave up on users when asked by law enforcement.
TOR is far better in that respect although it is slower. -

agreed, tor is better for privacy, vpn for convenience and country blocks. Tor is usually quite slow and unreliable. I have no real usage for Tor since I stopped financing revolutions ;-)
silly word of advice - be careful/safe in there, it's a legal grey (more black than grey) zone, lots of dodgy people there...
