Comment(by nickm):

 The right solution here will probably involve looking very hard at the
 code that currently makes certificate downloads get attempted and/or
 reattempted, and seeing what, if anything, rate-limits attempts to re-
 download a certificate that has failed, then figuring out why this is
 happening.  Insights welcome.
