Interesting. Actually, you can go directly to [1] and you'll get Tor Browser from archive.org. GetTor API already generates URLs to download 
the latest version from tpo, so we could easily generate something like [1] and send it via GetTor as well. We also trust other providers like 
Google and Dropbox, so I don't see why we couldn't trust archive.org.
