I was excited to give a shot to https://github.com/OpenNeuroDatasets/ds001544/ which has proper publicurl set etc... unfortunately there is something forbidding immediate parallel get (in below example -J8 but it is the same with -J2). It works on the 2nd try, or if not using -J. Error message states "unknown export location":

$> git annex version | head -n 1; git clone https://github.com/OpenNeuroDatasets/ds001544/ ; cd ds001544; git annex enableremote s3-PUBLIC; git annex get -J8 . 2>&1 | head -n 20; echo "2nd run"; git annex get -J8 .
