Table.read FITS file units related ValueError

The command below illustrated two issues with the current astropy master:
1. The FITS file seems to be downloaded twice!?
2. I can't read FITS tables (this is not the only one) because of units-related `ValueError`s. 

Even if the unit strings have syntax errors (I didn't check this) there should be an option to ignore the units problem and just read the table values. I couldn't find such an option it in the docs: http://docs.astropy.org/en/latest/io/unified.html#fits


```
In [1]: from astropy.table import Table

In [2]: Table.read('http://fermi.gsfc.nasa.gov/ssc/data/access/lat/2yr_catalog/gll_psc_v08.fit')
