I noticed today that the URLs for all of these fixlets are no longer working.

One of the fixlets was part of a multi-action group, and by having a failed download, the all of the other fixlets came back as Not Relevant. Maybe there is something about the action that needs tweaking, or is that type of behavior expected?
