This is quite the rebuild, I'm not even sure why it's keeping the same
versioning.

1. is already the case in 3.91.0 which is currently in koji but needs
qt5-qtgraphicaleffects.x86_64 installed first or it crashes. (kparal
already filed a bug for that.)

2. Is a good point how we actually test the integrated downloading,
which right now is pinned to Fedora 23 (maybe also 22). Add onto this
whether the image sha256 hash is checked by the tool? Hard to test
that.

3. / ?  Ick. I think retesting this new version is in order, I agree
it should go in ~/Downloads.
