List gettor before Satori

86) Satori is an add-on for the Chrome or Chromium browsers that allows you
87) to download several security and privacy programs from different
88) sources.
89) </p>
90) <p>
91) To download Tor Browser using Satori:
92) </p>
93) <steps>
94) <item>
95) <p>
96) Install Satori from the Chrome App Store.
97) </p>
98) </item>
99) <item>
100) <p>
101) Select Satori from your browser’s Apps menu.
102) </p>
103) </item>
104) <item>
105) <p>
106) When Satori opens, click on your preferred language. A menu will open
107) listing the available downloads for that language. Find the entry for
108) Tor Browser under the name of your operating system. Select
109) either “A” or “B” after the name of the program — each one represents
110) a different source from which to get the software. Your download will
111) then begin.
112) </p>
113) </item>
114) <item>
115) <p>
116) Wait for your download to finish, then find the “Generate Hash”
117) section in Satori’s menu and click “Select Files”.
118) </p>
119) </item>
120) <item>
121) <p>
122) Select the downloaded Tor Browser file. Satori will display the
123) checksum of the file, which you should compare with the software’s
124) original checksum: you can find this by clicking the word “checksum”
125) after the link you clicked on to start the download. If the checksums
126) match, your download was successful, and you can
127) <link xref='first-time'>begin using Tor Browser</link>. If they do not
128) match, you may need to try downloading again, or from a different
129) source.

138) A number of volunteers around the world host “mirrors” of the Tor
139) Project website. These are identical copies of all the content and
140) software on the main website, hosted at different IP addresses and
141) URLs. The Tor Project periodically checks mirrored versions of the
142) software to make sure they are the same as the originals.

146) If the main Tor website is blocked for you, and the automated
147) distribution methods above do not work, send an email to
148) help@rt.torproject.org asking for some website mirror addresses. You
149) should then be able to download Tor Browser as normal from these sites.
150) Please note that you should take extra care to verify the software you
151) download from a mirror, to ensure that it has not been tampered with.
