Multiple tests fail seemingly without relation to one another and all unpredictably/inconsistently. Often in downloader_test.go. Seemingly most frequently on Travis.

My best guess is either insufficient sleep time to set data, which may mean that a solution involves swapping sleep for a waiter for anticipated value.

This Issue should be used to track downloader CI test fails in order to establish a better picture of when and where they happen, and propose/address solution attempts. Tracked failures should be when only the presented test is the source of failure.

Problem: tests fail randomly on CI
767c1db 
Solution: provide -short flag on CI tests,
skipping tests that are known to fail

I figure it is better to have known absences of
information than unpredictable false negatives in
foreign test environment... consider it a patch
until the root of the tests' problems can be
resolved.

Accidentally found, that running tests locally with -test.memprofilerate=1 -memprofile memprof.out helps to reproduce the errors.
