Provisions running twice when GPV/SPV involved.

[Dan Morphis]

Since your doing a download task, it should be possible to use the
timestamp on the Downloads key to figure out if anything has happened
recently. Something like:

let now = Date.now();
let downloads = declare("Downloads", {value: 1});

if (downloads.timestamp - now < (60 * 1000)) {
  //The downloads node has had some action within the past 60 seconds, bail.
  return;
}
