Re: [tor-talk] Not able to download Tor to droid

[libertyinperil@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

The url Tor was downloaded from is guardianproject.info/apps/orbot  
direct download(.apk).  I tried doing so again and the tablet operating
system indicated it had downloaded, -- but had not.  I did get rid of all
the google and other commercial apps on the tablet.  Every one I could
find.  Are any of these apps required to download Orbot? -- Will not
download from the google store since they want registration and do track. 
The ISP does not appear to be a factor since it is public, a coffee shop. 
Have had no problems downloading Tor updates to Windows machines there.
The droid I'm trying to download Tor to is a tablet, not a phone.  Thanks
for your help.  libertyinperil
