I disagree. Download failures are not rare.
That's not what I said / meant. Sure, servers can have hiccups and downloads
can fail, but that's what we have the cache for. So having a working cache
is essential.
OTOH, if you simply mark tests as SKIP if the download fail, we'll likely
miss if an asset vanishes completely, since some people already have it in
their cache and the remaining people will likely just ignore skipped tests.
