Just an idea, would this be better left to a spell to decide?
The spells that this applies to could just set FORCE_DOWNLOAD...

No ignoring my obvious attempt at pawning off work to the other team...

The issue here is how much processing of urls do we want to
make the libraries go through?

At a certain point in between the url handlers and summon we
decide whether or not we need to (re)download the files.

The decision now works like this:
if file is past its lifetime then remove it
if the file does not exist, or we have force_download then download

We /could/ put in some code at the decision making point to ask each
of the url handlers if they think we should always download. Then add
an extra condition under which the local fs check fails when any one of
the urls thinks it needs to always be re-downloaded.
