12) Sometimes it's not possible to directly reach the Tor Project website. Here
13) are some ways that you can find and download a current version of
14) Tor if our website is blocked in your area. If you're reading this from
15) a search engine's 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

27) If you're already running Tor, you should be able to download a new Tor

28) securely with your current Tor. You should do this for your friends who don't
29) already have Tor. You can do this from our <a href="<page download>">download
30) page</a> or from a download page on one of the many Tor <a href="<page mirrors>">mirrors</a>.

31) Please take care to <a

33) the signature</a> of any downloaded package when possible.

42) A Tor mirror is a website that contains an exact copy of our main site.
43) We have <a
44) href="<page mirrors>">several dozen mirrors</a> currently, and you
45) can find the list by searching for "Tor mirrors" on your favorite
46) search engine.
47) </p>
48) 
49) <p>
50) It is very important to <a

51) href="<page verifying-signatures>">verify

52) the cryptographic signatures</a> on the Tor software when using any mirror. We

53) cannot ensure the safety or security of any package hosted on remote mirrors

54) without a signature. It's probably safe, but a cautious user should check
55) signatures when possible.

63) It is possible to get a copy of Tor by sending an email to a special email
64) address: '<tt>gettor AT torproject.org</tt>'. Now anyone who can send
65) email can get a copy of Tor. A user only needs to send us a request with
66) 'help' in the body of the email, and instructions will be sent as a reply.

70) To avoid spamming people accidentally, we only answer emails that are sent
71) from email services that support <a href="http://www.dkim.org/">DKIM</a>,

72) which is an email feature that lets us verify that the address in the

73) "From" line is actually the one who sent the mail. Gmail is an example of a
74) mail service that is known to work. If we get an email

75) from a service that doesn't use DKIM, we'll send a short explanation
76) and then ignore the email address for the next day or so.
