Comment (by irl):

 Using the fixed URL ​http://<hostname>/tor/status-vote/next/bandwidth.z
 sounds like it would be very easy to add this to CollecTor.

 We have discussed in the Metrics team extending `dir-spec.txt` to allow to
 fetch "recent" files as well as just next/current. In the case that there
 is a wide CollecTor outage, and we miss a file, it would be good to have
 those files cached (on a best-effort basis, not necessarily persisted to
 disk) and available via some URL.

 I don't know if karsten already had some ideas about what these URLs would
 look like, but we should perhaps consider this before implementing changes
 to `dir-spec.txt`.
