### Please describe the problem. Fails to addurl --fast (there is additional problem there anyways since size is not provided by the server -- generated on the fly), but more important that refuses to drop even when addurl/wget fetch it just fine (although different one each time ATM -- probably time stamp within zip etc) ### What steps will reproduce the problem? just try that url in the pasted output below ### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system? 6.20170525+gitge1cf095ae-1~ndall+1 ### Please provide any additional information below.
