 People use downloaders/scripts to Download TBB. (There is
 [https://github.com/micahflee/torbrowser-launcher ​torbrowser-launcher] as
 well as ​[https://github.com/Whonix/tb-updater tb-updater] and perhaps
 more.)

 In future, I am sure people will want to use downloaders/scripts to do the
 same with Tor Messenger. Likely those TBB downloaders will be transformed
 into general TPO downloaders.

 There is a number of issues, which harms the usability of these
 downloaders. Namely, often changes on torproject.org (version format
 changed, RecommendedTBBVersions location changed, etc.). This ticket will
 be the parent ticket for all these issues.
