Comment:

 Now that we took out all other file sizes except for the 5 MiB download,
 is there anything left to do here?

 What's the main purpose of the oneshot mode anyway? Is it to avoid waiting
 for 5 minutes for the first measurement to start? If so, should we work on
 adding a configurable, initial pause? Something like:

 {{{
                             -------
                             |     |
                             v     |
 start -> initial_pause -> pause --|
                    |        |
                    v        v
                    transfer5m
 }}}
