Hi,

I'm getting this warning when installing nodejs:

> asdf install nodejs 20.11.0
....
asdf: Warn: You have configured asdf to preserve downloaded files (with always_keep_download=yes or --keep-download). But

To disable that warning, you can place in your $HOME/.asdfrc (or other setting equivalent) this line:

always_keep_download = yes

I know it should be a no based on the warning, but there appears to be a bug where the opposite holds.
