Problem: tests fail randomly on CI

Problem: migration tests curl times out on CI sometimes

Solution: provide option to skip tests with env variable
set in .travis.yml

Problem: downloader_test is unpredictable

Solution: copy EF's implementation (shameless!)

Problem: non idiomatic range loop

Solution: make idiomatic

Problem: peer test fails sometimes (times out)

Solution: remove done channel (per EF)
