Comment (by karsten):

 Replying to [comment:33 notirl]:
 > 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.

 Thanks for the review! I broke up the method to take out the HTTP GET and
 writing to disk.

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

 Agreed. Filed #31599 for this.

 > 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.

 Yes, that's #20546.

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

 Oops, fixed.
