The wininstaller itself (and UpdateSnapshot / NodeConfig) simply request
http://downloads.freenetproject.org/filename ... redirection to Coral Cache
happens on emu via a HTTP 302, so the wininstaller is not directly aware of it.

Fundamentally, a fallback mechanism should be unneccessary since the whole point
of CoralCache is to provide a reliable, distributed download service :/  I could
put in some sort of hack to try emu directly if you can give me a vhost that
points to the files but doesn't get redirected to coral, this is a very
inelegant solution though. I was thinking more along the lines of i)Turn off the
redirection for the time being and ii)Ask the CoralCDN people WTF is going on
and get it working again.
