  - A completely new downloader which improves performance and
    robustness of immutable-file downloads. It automatically fails over
-   to alternate servers if the ones it is using fail in
-   mid-download. It allows seeking to arbitrary locations in the file,
-   where the old downloader only allowed reading the entire file
-   sequentially from the beginning.  It also minimizes unnecessary
-   round trips and unnecessary bytes transferred to improve
-   performance. (#287, #288, #798, #800, #990, #1160, #1162)
