It's requesting the available themes.

There are some oddities in the way it's hooked up which means
it starts at the version it is and then downgrades through the
earlier releases, which leads to some 404's as it requests
themes.zip for versions which don't have one.

It's something i'd like to change, as the 404's in the server
logs annoy me. Sadly it's on the long term todo list, as part
of reworking the themes part of our infrastructure.
