Hey folks! Anyone paying attention to the Project Coconut box logs 
might've noticed it failed when it tried to run against Alpha TC5. The 
problem is to do with the download URLs. I wrote fedfind to always use 
https://download.fedoraproject.org/ URLs for mirror HTTP downloads, 
but this turns out not to work great for TCs/RCs because of mirror 
lag, people (and Coconut) want the images immediately but mirrors 
don't pick them up for a few hours after the TC/RC is cut. The wiki 
pages had the same problem - the links often gave 404s for the hours 
after the TC came out (I did a quick manual find-and-replace to fix 
that).

So I've done a quick hack in fedfind to use dl.fedoraproject.org URLs 
for TC/RC images. I may want to make it a bit more elegant tomorrow, 
but it'll do the job for now. I updated the Coconut box with that 
fedfind, and wiped the JSON file so it should try again next time the 
cron job runs. This will also mean the wiki pages get better URLs for 
TC6+ (as long as we run the relval from a box with the latest 
fedfind...)
