This is all just a remote version of fd_install(), yet it deviates from
fd_install()'s semantics and naming. That's not great imho. What about
naming this something like:

fd_install_received()

and move the get_file() out of there so it has the same semantics as
fd_install(). It seems rather dangerous to have a function like
fd_install() that consumes a reference once it returned and another
version of this that is basically the same thing but doesn't consume a
reference because it takes its own. Seems an invitation for confusion.
Does that make sense?
