Would it make sense to overload FAILOVER_FETCH to delete a corrupted
archive that already exists? It already does that for freshly downloaded
ones. The "reget" probably needs it's own target or it's own option, as
it makes no sense in the general case (when the size mismatchs by a few
bytes, or the short file is a text file containing an http error code).
