Hi,

thanks a lot, boyska, for this report!

I'll be splitting the follow-ups into topical sub-threads.

FWIW, I believe the naming of TBB downloads is determined by
build-scripts/DEPLOYMENT (in https://git.torproject.org/torbrowser.git).

And the right place to ask is the tbb-dev mailing-list, rather than
the Tor sysadmins:
