### Please describe the problem.

The [downloads.kitenet.net](http://downloads.kitenet.net/) site is really a git annex repository, yet it is not possible to "git annex get" the files from there.

I regularly have to do something like this to workaround that issue:

    git annex addurl --file git-annex-standalone-amd64.tar.gz https://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/linux/current/git-annex-standalone-amd64.tar.gz

Shouldn't this be done automatically?

### What steps will reproduce the problem?

    git clone https://downloads.kitenet.net/
    cd downloads.kitenet.net/
    git annex get git-annex/linux/

### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?

5.20141024 on Debian Jessie.

### Please provide any additional information below.

Thanks! -- [[anarcat]]
