24. If you're using Tor and it's all working correctly then your ISP can't see what websites you're visiting. Tor hides the identity of who you're connecting to (the webserver), so no issues there. Additionally, since Tor encrypts your traffic your ISP can't see your HTTP requests, so they can't see what websites you're trying to download.
The important part is just to use 127.0.0.1:9050 as the proxy. Also note that 9050 is the default port, but it may not be the same on your installation (or if you're using the browser bundle). You'll have to look up the orport value in your torrc file. If you don't have separate options for different types of Torrent traffic, please don't do it ...
Here is what you do: Open Webroot. Click on "Identity Protection". Click on "Application Protection". Find the file that has the word "tor" in it. For example mine says, "firefox.exe in c:\users\desktop\torbrowser\browser". Then look to the right and you will see the following options: protect, allow, deny.
If you go to the Tor project download page you will see that there is a link labelled "Download in another language or platform".

When you type a search term into either the URL bar or the search box, the search term is passed by the browser to a search engine. The Tor Browser doesn't perform the search itself.

6. Yes: edit the file: ThisPC\Desktop\Tor Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Data\Tor\torrc or wherever you put Tor. at the end put: ExitNodes {GB} Then the last node will always be in the United Kindom, or put any other country code to exit from another country eg: US. Share.
7. In general Tor Browser saves the cookies which come from the originating site and deletes them when you close the browser. You can also click on "New Identity" which will also delete all your cookies.

Tor limits the transfer speed with its circuit and stream SENDMEs. TOR is just make it possible that your connection is transferred via 3 extra router: The download speed is dependent to 5 factors: 3 extra routers of TOR + the web server (which you're downloading file from) + your ISP speed. The speed will be the minimum of these factors.
