It doesn't seem like git annex addurl by itself supports the archive.org urls...

[[!format txt \"\"\"
anarcat@marcos:presentations$ git annex addurl --file=re_publica_2012___Eben_Moglen___Freedom_of_Thought_Requires_Free_Media.webm http://archive.org/download/Republica2012-EbenMoglen-FreedomOfThoughtRequiresFreeMedia/re_publica_2012___Eben_Moglen___Freedom_of_Thought_Requires_Free_Media.webm
addurl re_publica_2012___Eben_Moglen___Freedom_of_Thought_Requires_Free_Media.webm

failed
git-annex: addurl: 1 failed
\"\"\"]]

I also tried the \"details\" url (<http://archive.org/details/Republica2012-EbenMoglen-FreedomOfThoughtRequiresFreeMedia>) - but that just downloads the webpage, not the video either...

Even the ultimate video URL doesn't work:

[[!format txt \"\"\"
anarcat@marcos:presentations$ git annex addurl --debug --file=re_publica_2012___Eben_Moglen___Freedom_of_Thought_Requires_Free_Media.webm http://ia601009.us.archive.org/9/items/Republica2012-EbenMoglen-FreedomOfThoughtRequiresFreeMedia/re_publica_2012___Eben_Moglen___Freedom_of_Thought_Requires_Free_Media.webm

\"\"\"]]

... even though that URL actually gives out a proper 200 OK response code.

Any ideas? --[[anarcat]]
