Comment(by runa):

 Replying to [comment:1 sysrqb]:
 > What if we add another paragraph on the bridges.html page that says
 something similar to "If you are not certain you downloaded the
 [https://www.torproject.org/projects/obfsproxy.html.en#download PTTBB],
 please download it now and then add these bridges using the following
 instructions." which is followed by 'To use the above lines, go to
 Vidalia's Network settings page, and click "My ISP blocks connections...'.

 Is there an easy way to help users figure out if they have TBB or PTTBB?
 We should have a warning on step 2 which says that (1) you will need
 PTTBB, and (2) if you are trying to use TBB for this, you will see the
 following error..
