Comment (by jeffreywescott):

 Thanks -- that all sounds good.

 For what it's worth, I think a refactoring of the ```generate``` scripts
 is in order. It would be a lot easier for end users like me if all of the
 downloads happened up front, and the loads happened separately. Also, on
 the Unix-ish versions, I think a ```set -e``` at the top of the script is
 essential, particularly given the fact that Akamai is blacklisting people.
 You can end up waiting hours only to find out that things haven't really
 loaded, and you pretty much need to start over in a lot of cases.

 Related: has anyone from this team tried to get in touch with the Census
 folks? I think blacklisting people might be a violation of FOIA
 (https://www.foia.gov/).
