When to switch from the main address to a Torzon mirror
Mirrors exist so that one overloaded address does not lock everyone out.
Signs the main address is struggling
Repeated timeouts or long queues while other onion services load normally suggest the primary address is overloaded.
Use only listed mirrors
Switch to a torzon mirror that appears on a checked source. A mirror suggested in a chat message or comment is not the same thing.
Expect the same login page
A real mirror shows the same service. If the design, wording or login flow looks different, close the tab.
Switch back later
Mirrors can be temporary. Once the main address is responsive again, return to it.
In short
Switch to a listed Torzon mirror when the main address is overloaded, then switch back once it recovers.
