10) Sometimes it's not possible to directly reach the <a
11) href="https://www.torproject.org/">Tor Project website</a>. We're currently

12) working on ways to help users find, download and install a current version of
13) Tor without already having Tor. We know that these suggestions are imperfect
14) but we hope that users will be able to find Tor indirectly if our website is
15) blocked. If you're reading this from a search engines cache, directly from our
16) website or by some other method, we hope these suggestions are helpful.
17) Additionally, if you have ideas for how to improve these instructions, please
18) <a href="<page contact>">contact us</a> and let us know.

21) <h2>Fetching Tor with Tor: Using your web browser</h2>
22) <hr />
23) <p>

24) If you're already running Tor, you're should be able to download a new Tor
25) securely with your current Tor. You should do this for your friends who don't
26) already have Tor. You can do this from our <a href="<page download>">download
27) page</a> or from a download page on one of the many Tor <a href="<page mirrors>">mirrors</a>.
28) Plese take care to  <a
29) href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/VerifyingSignatures">verify
30) the signature</a> of any downloaded package when possible.

33) <h2>With a little help from our friends: Using Mirrors</h2>
34) <hr />
35) <p>

36) A Tor mirror is a site that contains an exact copy of our main site.
37) People who cannot reach the Tor website are encouraged to visit our <a
38) href="<page mirrors>">mirrors</a> to download copies of our source code as well
39) as binary builds for their specifically desired platforms. You may want to use
40) a search engine to find mirrors if our mirror page is blocked or seemingly
41) unresponsive. It is very imporant to <a

42) href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/VerifyingSignatures">verify

43) the cryptographic signatures</a> of our software when using any mirror. We
44) cannot ensure the safety or security of any package hosted on remote mirrors
45) without a signature. It's probably safe but a cautious user should check
46) signatures if possible.

49) <h2>Fetching Tor via email: gettor</h2>
50) <hr />
51) <p>

52) It is possible to get a copy of Tor by sending an email to a special email
53) address: '<tt>gettor AT torproject.org</tt>'. This email system is a gateway
54) that allows anyone who can send email to get a copy of Tor. Currently, we only
55) support mail systems that we know
56) don't mind large email attachments. Gmail and Yahoo! mail are two such mail
57) services that are known to work. This is useful for users who can send email
58) but have no other direct method of downloading Tor. A user only needs to tell
59) us their Operating System (Windows XP? Mac OS X? Linux?). An email with the
60) requested package will be sent shortly.
