Not reproduced on Windows 10 x64 with Inkscape 0.92.0 r15299 (64 bit).
However you have to distinguish between different implemetnations of the of open/save dialog (see Options "Interface -> Windows -> Desktop Integration":
- With the native open dialog it works fine on Windows, but I guess downloading of the file is handled by the OS / Internet Explorer here (and it's obviously not available on Ubuntu - don't know what's used there?)
- With the GTK open dialog I get a dialog that does not even allow me to type ":" into the location field, so URLs seem not to be allowed to start with.
