Ensure download thread liveness
* Don't wait forever for the client to remove data from the
  buffer. This does mean that the buffer can grow without bounds
  (e.g. when downloading is faster than writing to disk), but meh.

* Don't hold the state lock while calling the sink. The sink could
  take any amount of time to process the data (in particular when it's
  actually a coroutine), so we don't want to block the download
  thread.

Nix, the purely functional package manager

Nix is a new take on package management that is fairly unique. Because of its purity aspects, a lot of issues found in traditional package managers don't appear with Nix.

To find out more about the tool, usage and installation instructions, please read the manual, which is available on the Nix website at http://nixos.org/nix/manual.
