When this code was transferred over, it relied on Sys.which() throwing, which was changed in the Sys.which() PR, but this code snippet never got updated.

This fixes issues on systems that don't have `which` available
try
downloadcmd = basename(something(Sys.which.(download_agents)...))
catch
error("no download agent available; install curl, wget, or fetch")
end

Would be better (and not longer) to write this as a loop, rather than obscuring all errors with this message

What else can throw here except something(nothing)?

I agree it would be nicer to do without try/catch entirely, since that's now possible here.
