 In #5336 and #4486 Rob reports a significant fraction of failed downloads
 now that he's reduced the capacity of relays.

 Do these happen because of some Tor bug? Or some simulation bug?

 It is especially important to find the answer because a client that stops
 getting bytes but doesn't get an end cell will stop putting load on the
 network, thus influencing the rest of the simulation.
