  41 == HOW IT WORKS
  42 The downloader checks a DNS record for the latest version of the database.
  43 It will then try to download a file with that version from a mirror server.
  44 If the downloaded file is outdated, the next mirror will be tried until we
  45 have found a file that is recent enough.
