Maybe with a flag to ignore the error this is acceptable, otherwise no; it could mask a legitimate error and there's no way of knowing the state of the download.

Which flag name would you suggest?

  • no_state_allowed
  • no_state_needed
  • ignore_state
  • ignore_state_error
  • ...

Which flag name would you suggest?

Maybe --ephemeral-state, meaning the state will not be saved, and just not try to create it at all.
