Comment (by juga):

 So do you mean to add to `dir-spec.txt` something like?:

     "bandwidth-file-url"

         [At most once]

         The Bandwidth file URL used to obtain the measured bandwidth.
         These files SHOULD be available at:
         http://<hostname>/tor/bwfiles/<bwfile>

 Since `Torflow` and `sbws` use different names for the bandwidth files, i
 guess it's fine to don't specify the name that file needs to have, but
 just have them available in a known directory/path?.

 Should all files be available or just the one used for the last vote or
 for some period of time?
