For TOR build used for this https://github.com/cretz/tor-static
For windows, I downloaded the Windows Expert Bundle from here: https://www.torproject.org/download/tor/
this is solved by https://github.com/cryptoadvance/specter-desktop/pull/2255, isn't it?
Currently, the Binaries, especially for Linux and MacOS is unreasonably huge.
This increases initial startup time but also each time you start specter as the binary need to be unpacked.
The reason are the Tor binaries which are bloated and could be much smaller. Unfortunately, Tor does not release reasonable binaries for the different platforms and what people do is to extract those binaries from bigger packages which to is releasing.
E.g. Mercury Wallet has much smaller binaries here: https://github.com/layer2tech/mercury-wallet/tree/master/resources
