+<p>
+Some government or corporate firewalls censor connections to Tor's
+website. In those cases, you have three options. First, get it from
+a friend &mdash; the <a href="<page torbrowser/index>">Tor Browser
+Bundle</a> fits nicely on a USB key. Second, find the google cache
+for the <a href="<page getinvolved/mirrors>">Tor mirrors</a> page
+and see if any of those copies of our website work for you. Third,
+you can download Tor via email: log in to your Gmail account and mail
+'<tt>gettor AT torproject.org</tt>'. If you include the word 'help'
+in the body of the email, it will reply with instructions. Note that
+only a few webmail providers are supported, since they need to be able
+to receive very large attachments.

+Be sure to <a href="<page verifying-signatures>">verify the signature</a>

+other than our official https website.
