Comment (by sisbell):

 As I recall, some artifacts links are 301 redirects, which were
 redirecting to URL paths that did not have the maven URL path in them.
 This made it impossible to reconstruct the groupId/artifactId/version
 directory paths we needed from the URL output to download-urls.txt.

 Replying to [comment:15 gk]:
 > Alright. So, what about not including any download attempt but only the
 `GET` ones? We are not interested in the `HEAD` ones anyway. If I do that
 and then put the missing resources into `download-fails.txt` and then just
 pass on the lines that are in the former file like so:
 >
 > `comm -23 download-attempts.txt download-fails.txt > download-urls.txt`
 >
 > I get a matching file to the one we checked in (that's for TOPL, I have
 not checked for `tor-android-service`) after sorting the latter (and
 removing the comments).
