 * Hi,
 * WP CLI also downloads the media automatically (with your import command).
 * The problem may be different. Does your all.xml file contain media files? Are
   media files available?
 * So the attachment in the all.xml file is:
    `<wp:attachment_url>https://wpthemetestdata.
   files.wordpress.com/2008/06/canola2.jpg</wp:attachment_url>`
 * Is this link available?
