Okay if you really think its necessary, file a bug and I'll get to it.
Someone will of course need to set this distributable flag on all spells
that need it set to no.

The files usually get downloaded to /tmp although im not 100% certain
of that for all url handlers. The mechanism is that the url handler
downloads the file wherever it wants and then sets FILE to whatever that
was, then libdownload goes and puts it in the right name and place.
