New description:

 Mike and the Tor Browser team are still doing weird contortions to upload
 new Tor Browser releases to www while keeping current Tor Browser releases
 on www too.

 The latest attempt (to upload (4.0.6 and 4.5a5 while leaving 4.0.5 and
 4.5a4 in place) resulted in some time where the download page gave a 404:
 http://tor.stackexchange.com/questions/6544/what-happened-to-the-tor-
 downloads-is-there-a-safe-alternative-site-to-download/6545

 We did some quick math, and concluded that 50gigs on each webserver that's
 part of the www / dist rotation would make everything a lot more
 comfortable as we grow.

 Are there any servers in the www / dist rotation right now that can't
 handle that? If so, can we ask them to handle it?
