  46 == EXIT CODES
  47 The 'location-downloader' command will normally exit with code zero.
  48 If there has been a problem and the requested action could not be performed,
  49 the exit code is unequal to zero.

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  54 If the downloaded file is outdated, the next mirror will be tried until we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