fuzzfetch.FetcherException: Unable to find usable archive...
This makes it unclear if invalid build is being requested or something else is wrong.

Research direction
Start by locating the Python code that raises FetcherException for unusable archives and trace how network failures and invalid builds reach that exception. Done means those two failure cases produce distinguishable error messages; add or update coverage for both cases if the repository has tests for them.
