Comment (by bluemoon):

 Checked gettor email. There was a bug such that the links were shown as
 "None" and the string after "Download the file" at the end was empty.
 Reported on IRC and was quickly fixed by @hiro.


 Replying to [ticket:31982 lwsullivan]:
 > The Gettor area is a confusing mess of multiple landing pages, multiple
 repositories, and broken functionality.
 >
 > The starting point seems to be a blog post from 2016,
 https://blog.torproject.org/gettor-new-ways-download-tor-browser
 >
 > That directs to a landing page, https://gettor.torproject.org, which
 lists options.
 >
 > But https://thetorproject.github.io/gettor seems to be another landing
 page with another list of options.
 >
 > That second landing page only goes up to Tor Browser version 8.0.2, and
 in any case, the links to download Tor Browser return 404 not found.
 >
 > It looks like https://github.com/TheTorProject/gettorbrowser is empty.
 >
 > There is a repository for Gettor https://github.com/TheTorProject/gettor
 but that has had no commits since 2017.
 >
 > The similar https://github.com/torproject/gettor has more recent commits
 but is under an account https://github.com/torproject which is described
 as "unofficial" repositories.
 >
 > Also, has anyone actually checked that the email, XMPP, and Twitter
 responders still work?
