 In November 2012, tor26 was very slow in responding to metrics-db, which
 made metrics-db exceed its 30-minute schedule.  This happened again on
 March 2, 2013.  The workaround was to avoid tor26 and other slow
 directories and download descriptors only from the other directory
 authorities.  metrics-db should use a timeout similar to how DocTor does.
