I don't think it's hardcoded, As I said in my first email, It's an `defcustom',
isn't it? User totally can change that. And I used `executable-find', the value
will be `nil' when monolith is not available. And I don't have ability to
archive same functionality with wget or curl. And as I said before, PATCH
welcome.

If you mean adding a timestamp and original URL, I don't think its our argument
point, because user totally can do it manually, or automatic this task in some
kind of way. WDYT?

the [u] url downloading method already did the simple task.

As I said, PATCH welcome, I admired many times I don't have ability to build a
complex archive functionality on url.el or wget or curl.
Isn't Org Mode build up from small things? Can just become a big tool at once?

This is leaved to `defcustom' option. I will improve the download function to
have enough elasticity.
