Thanks for creating this issue! It bothered me from time to time, but not
enough to open a ticket. ;)

> So, making more files available in the `recent/` directory would be one
option. But all tools downloading from that directory would then have to
fetch even more data. I'm thinking of newly bootstrapped Onionoo instances
for development purposes, for one example.
Valid point.

more often. Maybe every 2 days instead of every 3 days. That would solve
this issue, too, right? If so, and if there are no concerns, I'll change
the cronjob to try this out for a week or so.
That should be fine.
(We should keep this in mind when we get around to 'java-ize' the
