And all four of them are now back and working. Thanks for your patience
everyone.

Turns out the issue was that the default bwauth backend (the server that
serves the bandwidth files) went offline during our efforts to shuffle
things around so www.torproject.org could survive this week's 15-20gbps
ddos attack on our website.

Faravahar and moria1 were still using the default bwauth backend, but
we've moved to a different one and things are looking fine again.

Never a dull moment,
