Comment (by notirl):

 Status: -> needs_revision

 Again the startProcessing() method in the Downloader is huge. Testing and
 review would be easier if this were broken up. This one is easier to
 follow though.

 We should file a ticket to refactor HTTP GET request code into a util
 function.

 I think we already had a ticket to refactor cleaning up directory after X
 days? If we don't then we should file that ticket.

 The create-tarballs script was updated, but the PROTOCOL was not updated,
 for the monthly tarballs.
