 GetTor says the following about macos-i386, macos-ppc, linux-i386, and
 linux-x86_64:

 ''Note that this package is rather large and needs your email provider to
 allow for attachments of about 30MB in size.''

 I suggest that we update this text to either list email providers that
 will allow for attachments of about 30MB, or list email providers that
 won't allow these attachments.

 Can we also autoreply to users who request these packages from @gmail,
 @hotmail, and @yahoo and tell them that "Sorry, your provider will not
 allow for attachments of this size" (or something similar, I just want us
 to tell the users ''something'')?

 Most users have no idea what the maximum attachment size of their provider
 is, and so they end up emailing tor-assistants or community-support for
 help.
