Comment(by arma):

 Replying to [comment:34 robgjansen]:
 > From what I can tell, it seems to mostly be happening when the client
 has yet to 'bootstrap' to 100% (usually stuck at 50%: "Loading relay
 descriptors"). In this state clients seem to be getting several HTTP 404
 errors because the directory mirrors they selected to contact do not yet
 have the requested info.

 As usual, it would be great if you could get me info-level logs from one
 of these clients that doesn't bootstrap, and ideally from a directory
 mirror that doesn't bootstrap too.

 I just used nickm's chutney tool to launch a self-contained tor network,
 and for the first 5 minute period, all the clients were getting 404's in
 response to their consensus fetches. After about 15 minutes though,
 everything had settled down and they all worked nicely. I wonder what is
 different in your situation.
