owmeta install broken due to extra checks on Google downloads

The files specified here: https://github.com/openworm/owmeta-bundles/blob/master/index.json are all on GDrive, but recently(?) the download has changed to give a warning that they can't be scanned for viruses, e.g.

https://drive.google.com/uc?id=15JJcMyfgxtXsQp4GhmM-4c0ryi_RGph5&authuser=0&export=download

Seems this is a general issue: https://support.google.com/drive/thread/215627886/google-drive-scan-for-viruses-when-client-clicks-sharing-url?hl=en

@mwatts15 To get around this, I could manually download all the files and add them to the https://github.com/openworm/owmeta-bundles repo, updating the urls. How big is the largest of these? Would there be any issue with the hashes in the json file? Probably a better longer term solution than storing them on your drive.
