-<h2><a class="anchor" href="#IRC">Fetching Tor via IRC: gettor</a></h2>
-<hr />

-<p>
-It is possible to fetch the source code, binaries and other files related to 
-Tor by using the XDCC IRC file transfer protocol. It is best to attempt this 
-only if you connect to the IRC server using SSL. Currently <tt>gettor</tt> 
-is known to spend time on Freenode, 2600, Indymedia and OFTC.
-<br/><br/>
-If you're currently able to connect to one of those IRC networks, look for a 
-user named '<tt>gettor</tt>' that is connected from the host 
-'<tt>check.torproject.org</tt>'. Send the user a private message like so:
-<br/>
-<br/>
-'<tt>/msg gettor xdcc list</tt>'
-<br/>
-<br/>
-The <tt>gettor</tt> user should respond with a list of files
-available for download. If there is no response, something has gone wrong. Some
-IRC networks require that you are registered before you can send private
-queries to other users (this is often to reduce spam). You may need to register
-with the NickServ before you can talk to the <tt>'gettor'</tt> user.
-<br/>
-An example response returned by <tt>gettor</tt> is presented below:<br/>
-<pre>
--gettor- ** 14 packs **  20 of 20 slots open, Record: 6397.1KB/s
--gettor- ** Bandwidth Usage ** Current: 0.0KB/s, Record: 10.3KB/s
--gettor- ** To request a file, type "/msg gettor xdcc send #x" **
--gettor- ** To request details, type "/msg gettor xdcc info #x" **
--gettor- #1  1x [1.2M] tor-0.1.2.19.tar.gz
--gettor- #2  0x [ &lt;1K] tor-0.1.2.19.tar.gz.asc
-</pre>
-<br/>
-To fetch the Tor source code and signature file, a user would simply need to
-send the following commands: <br/>
-<pre>
-'/msg gettor xdcc send #1'
-'/msg gettor xdcc send #2'
-</pre>
-<br/>
-</p>
-
-<p>
-After these commands are sent, the <tt>gettor</tt> user will respond. It will 
-send each file as a XDCC file transfer. Depending on the IRC client in use, you may have
-to manually accept the file, please consult the manual for your software or 
-<a href="<page contact>">contact us for help</a>.</p>
-
-<p>
-It is
-very important to <a
-href="<page verifying-signatures>">verify
-the cryptographic signatures</a> of our software when using DCC file transfers
-just as with any type of mirroring. Someone could easily impersonate the IRC 
-user and send trojaned software. Always validate the cryptographic signature
-of any package before attempting to do an installation of the software.
