-It is possible to fetch the source code, binaries and other files related to |
|
| 85 |
-Tor by using the XDCC IRC file transfer protocol. It is best to attempt this |
|
| 86 |
-only if you connect to the IRC server using SSL. Currently <tt>gettor</tt> |
|
| 87 |
-is known to spend time on Freenode, 2600, Indymedia and OFTC. |

-If you're currently able to connect to one of those IRC networks, look for a |
|
| 90 |
-user named '<tt>gettor</tt>' that is connected from the host |
|
| 91 |
-'<tt>check.torproject.org</tt>'. Send the user a private message like so: |
|
| 92 |
-<br/> |
|
| 93 |
-<br/> |
|
| 94 |
-'<tt>/msg gettor xdcc list</tt>' |

-The <tt>gettor</tt> user should respond with a list of files |
|
| 98 |
-available for download. If there is no response, something has gone wrong. Some |
|
| 99 |
-IRC networks require that you are registered before you can send private |
|
| 100 |
-queries to other users (this is often to reduce spam). You may need to register |
|
| 101 |
-with the NickServ before you can talk to the <tt>'gettor'</tt> user. |
