Nope, it's a feature. We were talking about this on IRC yesterday and I 
finished it up yesterday evening.

Now it only downloads them if the destination is a fullpath (in koan or 
the %post snippet).

If not, it can be used for templating without auto-downloading the files.

Let me know if anyone thinks there are any other issues/features/ideas 
with this.
