Do you want to request a feature or report a bug?
feature or compatibility bug (with bower)

What is the current behavior?
Adding this dependency to bower.json and running bower install works fine:

    "open-sans": "http://themes.googleusercontent.com/static/fonts/opensans/v6/cJZKeOuBrn4kERxqtaUH3T8E0i7KZn-EPnyo3HZu7kw.woff"

Attempt similar with package.json fails with :

error An unexpected error occurred: "http://themes.googleusercontent.com/static/fonts/opensans/v6/cJZKeOuBrn4kERxqtaUH3T8E0i7KZn-EPnyo3HZu7kw.woff: invalid tar file".

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.
This should do the trick :
yarn add http://themes.googleusercontent.com/static/fonts/opensans/v6/cJZKeOuBrn4kERxqtaUH3T8E0i7KZn-EPnyo3HZu7kw.woff

What is the expected behavior?
I expect the same behaviour as bower - ie I get the font file in a local directory, preferably with some sensible name in the path.

Please mention your node.js, yarn and operating system version.

npm doesn't allow installation of this. You mention bower and we removed bower support, so I'm not sure this would be added at this time.

Yeah this isn't something we're going to add. This would also make supporting any other archive type a breaking change since we'd be changing the this behaviour if it were implemented.

This is disappointing - I was hoping to do without bower.
