    161161 '''choose_download_url_by_timezone'''::
    162         When the scheduler sends work to hosts, it replaces the download URL appearing in the data and executable file descriptions with the download URL closest to the host's timezone. The project must provide a two-column file called 'download_servers' in the project root directory. This is a list of all download servers that will be inserted when work is sent to hosts. The first column is an integer listing the server's offset in seconds from UTC. The second column is the server URL in the format such as http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu. The download servers must have identical file hierarchies and contents, and the path to file and executables must start with '/download/...' as in '!http://X/download/123/some_file_name'.

    163163 '''cache_md5_info'''::
    164164        When creating work, keep a record (in files called foo.md5) of the file length and md5 sum of data files and executables. This can greatly reduce the time needed to create work, if (1) these files are re-used, and (2) there are many of these files, and (3) reading the files from disk is time-consuming.
