How To Use Tor?

I thought it would be good to read about how to use Tor correctly. It's important to note, that by itself Tor is an extremely good project to protect privacy. It is not perfect, and has some potential loopholes. Usually, the issue lies with the applications users try to run on top of Tor. Intentionally or unintentionally they end up giving away the privacy.

However, till the time there is a 'better' solution made available, let's say this is the best we have!!

0/  Download Tor Browser Bundle, which comes with Tor and a customized Firefox browser
1/  Chrome:  Use these instructions to setup Chrome to use Tor. Another method is here
2/  uTorrent:  This is not recommended by Tor, but some settings are here

The ideal way to use tor, by setting up a proxy, and a client can only and only connect to it.

Can you break Tor, Russia has $100K as an award for you. Well at least that is publicized, maybe FBI has a bigger one to offer, under the covers.
