So, i guess the problem is the colon “:” as well as the slashes “/” as they do not work on windows.

It is downloading it every time and this is 100% acceptable. But the temp file has the same name as the given url. This simply does not work on windows machines. If you trim the temp file name to the stuff following the last slash it should work fine.

Fixed in 1.13.0.
