 Aren't mirrors listed in there likely to be censored as well? Or what
 would you suggest in such a document?

 > so in theory, if you're an average censored user, the easiest way to get
 the bundles would be gettor. and once you send your request, you get all
 necessary information to troubleshoot, bypass the censorship and get
 connected.

 Should I use GetTor again if the ISP suddently blocks access to the Tor
 network and I'm unable to connect?

 That's #4983. Please try to keep the discussion focused.
