 I noticed there is a gap between the consensus files that are available in
 the latest snapshot, e.g.:
 https://collector.torproject.org/archive/relay-
 descriptors/consensuses/consensuses-2018-01.tar.xz

 and those available in the list of recent consensus files:
 https://collector.torproject.org/recent/relay-descriptors/consensuses/

 As of right now, many consensus files from January 19th, 2018 are
 inaccessible (they are too old to be in the recent list and too new to
 exist in the latest archived snapshot).

 I realize that those files will get added to the January 2018 archive
 snapshot soon, but it seems to me like a problem in general that at any
 time some consensus files may be inaccessible.
