I have several remotes and one of them stores dvc\<3.0 data. I tried to pull some data from it:

```auto
(venv) ermolaev@df783b0a927d:~/projects/.../mae$ dvc pull -r mae-gdrive -R data/full_datasets/.../datasets/train.dvc

```

Data has downloaded but one of the files has disappeared:

I use `symlink` cache and file isn’t in cache. But it’s on a remote cache.

```auto
$ dvc doctor
DVC version: 3.44.0 (pip)

        dvc_objects = 5.0.0

        dvc_task = 0.3.0
        scmrepo = 3.1.0
Supports:
        gdrive (pydrive2 = 1.19.0),
        http (aiohttp = 3.9.3, aiohttp-retry = 2.8.3),
        https (aiohttp = 3.9.3, aiohttp-retry = 2.8.3)
Config:
        Global: /home/ermolaev/.config/dvc
        System: /etc/xdg/dvc

Repo.site_cache_dir: /var/tmp/dvc/repo/7205a6ce3131e59a2db7211a94dd5faa

```

Why my file didn’t downloaded? Why DVC didn’t throw any error? There are several files that din’t download correctly actually and I don’t known why

One more example:

```auto
(venv) ermolaev@df783b0a927d:~/project/$ dvc pull -r mae-gdrive data/full_datasets/.../mosmed.tar.dvc 
Collecting |1.00 [00:00, 11.6entry/s]
Computing md5 for a large file '/data/projects/radml/DVC_CACHE//b6/a687b7981fff05220507af4077f091'. This is only done once.

M /home/ermolaev/project/.../mosmed.tar
1 file modified and 1 file fetched

```

While pulling was performing I looked into the cache:

```auto
ermolaev@df783b0a927d:~/$ du -hs /data/projects/radml/DVC_CACHE//b6/a687b7981fff05220507af4077f091
218G /data/projects/radml/DVC_CACHE//b6/a687b7981fff05220507af4077f091
ermolaev@df783b0a927d:~/$ du -hs /data/projects/radml/DVC_CACHE//b6/a687b7981fff05220507af4077f091
du: cannot access '/data/projects/radml/DVC_CACHE//b6/a687b7981fff05220507af4077f091': No such file or directory

```

We can see, that after download I had file into cache, but after fetching it has disappeared.
