Since diffoscope is still timing out for he single file it finds inconsistent (https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/netbsd/netbsd.html)
is there a way to download the files it compares so that We can do this manually? Perhaps print the URLs of the inputs when
it runs out of memory?

Thanks,

christos
