I tried removing elect_resources() (essentially removing "type" attribute)
and it mostly works.
It fails when "bittorrent" url resource has top priority. In this case it
HTTP downloads what looks to me like a tracker info.
Since checksum differs from original file (extracted from metalink file)
download fails.

I also merged two metalink files (header from the first file and resources
from the second file) and Wget crashes. I found out there are some issues
with temporary files.

I do believe checking types is more fail-safe since these issues do not
occur there. At least "bittorrent" resources have to be eliminated
beforehand or make Wget somehow aware of them.
