GetTor Usage
Users can communicate with GetTor robot by sending messages via email.
Currently, the best known GetTor email address is gettor@torproject.org.
This should be the most current stable GetTor robot as it is operated by
the Tor Project.
To ask for Tor Browser, a user should send an email to GetTor robot with one of the following options in the message body:
windows: If the user needs Tor Browser for Windows.\ linux: If the user needs Tor Browser for Linux.\ osx: If the user needs Tor Browser for Mac OSX.\
Options are case insensitive. If a user select two or more options, only the first one will be considered. After the user sends a valid option, GetTor robot will reply with links to download Tor Browser from popular cloud services. For now, the only cloud service supported is Dropbox. A sample reply from GetTor robot should look like this:
Thank you for your request for windows-en.
