 Hi!

 > I tried to obtain a Tor download link from get_tor(at)riseup.net using
 OTR but your XMPP account doesn't seem to be set up for OTR.

 reason for not enabling it?)

 Yes, we have considered adding OTR for the XMPP channel, but at that time
 we had some concerns about the security of the python implementations. We
 will certainly do this in the future.

 > Thanks for creating so many alternative ways for people to get Tor.

 > Cheers!

 You are welcome!
