 We should get a better understanding of where our different gettor
 providers are blocked. Right now we use four different providers:
 - `gitlab.com`
 - `github.com`
 - `archive.org`
 - `docs.google.com`

 However, some of these domains resolve to a different URL in the process
 of downloading the file. For example, binaries uploaded to github used to
 retrieved from `raw.githubusercontent.com` and now it redirects to
 `github-production-release-asset-2e65be.s3.amazonaws.com`.

 Perhaps we can use OONI data to stay on track of when gettor becomes
 unavailable due to blocking these URLs?
