No, you misunderstood.
You want something like:
<propery name="static.content" value="${some.dir}/${some.file}"/>
<target name="check-files">
<available property="static.exists" file="$static.content"/>
</target>
<target name="get-static" depends="check-files" unless="static.exists">
<get ..../>
</target>
<target name="main" depends="get-static,compile"/>
Only attempt to do the download if there's no local copy.
If there is no local copy, and no network, then the get will fail.
If there is no local copy, and the network is up, then the get should work
If there is a local copy, then nothing happens.
