Description
The download tests can take a long time to run (just took me 11 minutes). The main culprit is VSM_Download_Version_Succeeds which took half of the time at 5.5 minutes.
Maven_Download_Version_Succeeds also took 4 minutes.
I think we don't need to test actual network traffic and we should try to mock the actual downloading if we can.
This also applies to the detectcryptography tests which could be run against cached copies of the code as well.

Research direction
Start by examining the VSM_Download_Version_Succeeds and Maven_Download_Version_Succeeds download tests, then review the detectcryptography tests and their current network or cached-code setup. Done means these tests avoid real network downloads while still verifying the intended behavior and complete substantially faster.
