Comment:

 So it seems It was not the main issue, but I think adding authentication
 to download nightly builds (with tor-guest/tor-guest as username and
 password) helps saving bandwidth by avoiding bots which try to download
 everything. This is done with this commit:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/boklm/tor-browser-
 build.git/commit/?h=bug_33864&id=efe93411c75b8f2c0ba80164b9af7ab914614b9f

 It can be disabled by setting `nightly_build_nginx_auth_basic_enable` to
 false.
