 It seems that in case of email rejection due to attachment size limit, the
 GetTor bot sends an email that links to old and broken mirrors of TBB,
 Specifically, those two addresses:
 https://www.oignon.net/dist/torbrowser/
 https://tor.beme-it.de/dist/torbrowser/

 They should obviously be replaced by updated links from the mirror list:
 https://www.torproject.org/getinvolved/mirrors.html.en

 I learned of this bug from the Transifex translation project, where user
 "runasand" added this notification for translation about two years ago.
 Since it was two years ago, it is possible that the problem is not
 actually in GetTor (english version) but rather with the Transifex
 coordination team that isn't updating the links routinely. Anyway, it
 seems right now GetTor at least in all languages except english gives
 these broken links.
