I checked the site and noticed, for me this is fetchable: editors/AbiWord2: 0 files fetchable out of 1 (0 ok, 0 bad, 7 skipped) I got another such message from you on zodb3 where it is also fetchable. Please run your test script again and patch it so that it checks it a few times (with a few hours between each fetch) so that we can be sure it does not work.
