 Given that bundles for each platform are 95% the same, except for the
 localization part, it might be possible to write a script that optimize
 the upload/download of a Tor Browser release, doing the following steps:
 - upload/download the `en-US` bundles for all platforms
 - copy the `en-US` bundle to the filenames of all the other locales
 - use rsync to upload/download the part of the files that differ

 If we find that such a script can improve upload/download time
 significantly, we should add it somewhere in the `tools/` directory.
