The Sphinx documentation for :download: only mentions local files. An 
examination of the source indicates that shutil.copyfile() is used to 
copy downloadable files, so it looks to me that URL downloads are not 
supported.

I am reluctant to include a zip in svn.

Which is less bad: a link to zip on a CSIRO download server, or a 604 KB 
zip committed to svn?

If committing the zip to svn is preferred, I can reduce the massively 
bloated OASIS catalog and cut it down to the minimum required for the 
tutorial. I should be able to get it under 100 KB without too much effort.
