 Moving https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/21378#comment:12
 into a separate ticket:

 Quoting teor:
 > Replying to teor:
 > > Replying to 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.

 > > Thanks for the feedback!

 > > > 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.

 > > How is this any different to losing descriptors or consensuses?
 > > (Please answer this question on a separate ticket.)

 > > > 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`.

 > > Please open a separate ticket for this feature. It's potentially a
 large feature. And it's not essential for the initial release of this
 feature.
 >
 > If you open a separate ticket for historical directory documents, please
 make #26698 a child of that ticket. We'll need bandwidth file hashes to
 work out the exact file used in each vote.
