-    <h1>GetTor e-mail autoresponder</h1>
-<p>GetTor is a program for serving Tor and related files over SMTP. Users
-interact with GetTor by sending it email.</p>
+    <h1>GetTor autoresponder</h1>
+<p>GetTor is a program that presents alternative methods to download Tor
+Browser, specially when access to Tor Project's official website and mirrors
+is blocked. For now, the only available method is SMTP (email).</p>
 
-<h2>Finding GetTor</h2>
+<h2>Download Tor Browser via email</h2>
 
-<p>It is assumed that a user has a method of finding a valid GetTor
-email robot.  Currently the best known GetTor email is gettor @
-gettor.torproject.org. This should be the most current stable GetTor robot as
-it is operated by the Tor Project.</p>
+<p>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 
+Tor Project.</p>
 
+<p>To ask for Tor Browser a user should send an email to GetTor robot with 
+one of the following options in the message body:</p>
 
-<h2>Requirements for using GetTor</h2>
+<ul>
+   <li><strong>windows</strong>: If the user needs Tor Browser for Windows.
+   </li>
+   <li><strong>linux</strong>: If the user needs Tor Browser for Linux.
+   </li>
+   <li><strong>osx</strong>: If the user needs Tor Browser for Mac OSX.
+   </li>
+</ul>
 
-<p>Users communicate with the GetTor robot by sending messages via email.
-The messages are currently English keywords.</p>
-
-<h2>Using GetTor</h2>
-
-<p>Currently, users have a limited set of options. It is best to send an
-email with a message body (the subject line can be blank) that consists
-of only the word 'help' to receive instructions. This will send the most
-current set of choices. An example reply to a request for help
-follows:</p>
+<p>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:</p>
 
 <pre>
-  Hello, This is the "gettor" robot.
-
-   I am sorry, but your request was not understood. Please select one
-   of the following package names:
-
-      windows
-      macos-i386
-      macos-ppc
-      linux-i386
-      linux-x86_64
-      source
-
-   Please send me another email. It only needs a single package name
-   anywhere in the body of your email.
-</pre>
-<br>
+   Thank you for your request for windows-en.
 
-<p>For example, it is possible to fetch the most current Windows bundle. A
-user may send a request with only the word 'windows-bundle' in the body of the
-email. An example reply would look something like the following:</p>
+   Here are the download links:
 
-<pre>
-   Hello! This is the "gettor" robot.
-
-   Here's your requested software as a zip file. Please unzip the
-   package and verify the signature.
+   ===
+   Tor Browser Bundle:
+   ===
 
-   Hint: If your computer has GnuPG installed, use the gpg
-   commandline tool as follows after unpacking the zip file:
+   Dropbox
 
-      gpg --verify <packagename>.asc <packagename>
+   Package (32/64-bit): https://www.dropbox.com/s/0p4oew8w2u7vzv2/torbrowser-install-4.0.1_en-US.exe?dl=1
+   ASC signature (32/64-bit): https://www.dropbox.com/s/y68hhrk378lygn4/torbrowser-install-4.0.1_en-US.exe.asc?dl=1
+   Package SHA256 checksum (32/64-bit): e41078c34785e6834657d008d0c2b0b671b793b5cbc67ebc60e8d55735504a10
 
-   The output should look somewhat like this:
+   Fingerprint: 8738 A680 B84B 3031 A630 F2DB 416F 0610 63FE E659
 
-      gpg: Good signature from "Roger Dingledine <arma at mit.edu>"
+   ===
+   Support:
+   ===
 
-   If you're not familiar with commandline tools, try looking for
-   a graphical user interface for GnuPG on this website:
+   Still need help? If you have any questions, trouble connecting to Tor
+   network, or need to talk to a human, please contact our support team at:
 
-      http://www.gnupg.org/related_software/frontends.html
+     help at rt.torproject.org
 
-   Have fun.
+   We are ready to answer your queries in English, Farsi, Chinese, Arabic,
+   French and Spanish.

-<p>The email should also include an attachment with the name
-'windows-bundle.z' that can be downloaded by the user. The user must now
-unpack the zip file and if they wish, they may verify that the file is
-from the Tor Project.</p>
+<p>If a user sends something different from the options mentioned before, 
+GetTor robot will reply with a help message explaining how to interact with 
+it. A sample help message should look like this:</p>
+
+<pre>
+   Hello, this is the 'GetTor' robot.
 
-<h2>Unpacking and verifying the requested files</h2>
+   Thank you for your request. I am here to help you download the latest
+   Tor Browser Bundle.
 
-<p>A user should have software for decompressing .zip files. It will
-contain at least two files, the requested bundle and its digital
-signature. Before a user installs the bundle, they should verify the
-signature.</p>
+   Please reply to this message with one of the options below:
 
-<p>Users should follow the most current instructions for <a href="<page
-docs/verifying-signatures>">signature verification</a>.</p>
+       windows
+       linux
+       osx
 
-<h2>Installing the requested files</h2>
+   And I will send you the download instructions quickly.
+
+   Tip: Just send a blank reply to this message if you are not sure.
+</pre>
+<br>
 
-<p>After verifying that the file is valid, a user should simply run
-the program.  If a user requested the source code to Tor, we assume
-that they're able to follow the build instructions contained within the
-source itself.</p>
+<p>Once the files have been downloaded users should <strong>verify the 
+integrity</strong> of Tor Browser by following the instructions listed in 
+the <a href="https://www.torproject.org/docs/verifying-signatures.html.en">
+signature verification</a> guide. After verifying that the downloaded file 
+is valid, users should follow the 
+<a href="https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en#macosx">
+install instructions</a> to start using Tor Browser. A user that can't 
+reach the Tor network after the install process should consider using 
+<a href="https://bridges.torproject.org">bridges</a> or 
+<a href="https://www.torproject.org/docs/pluggable-transports.html.en">
+pluggable transports</a>. This guides will be provided by GetTor robot in 
+the future.</p>
