Dear Maintainer,
I was trying to check if torbrowser has been updated and I am not able
to check :-

Updating over Tor
Download error: Connection was refused by other side: 111: Connection
refused. <class 'twisted.internet.error.ConnectionRefusedError'>

I tried the lazyweb and was able to find this report
https://github.com/micahflee/torbrowser-launcher/issues/118 as well as
https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/2454

There doesn't seem to be a work-around for this.

Looking forward to know more.
