Following the example in the README

This doesn't seem to work Tested on MacOS, ruby version: ruby 2.6.2p47 creek version: creek (2.4.4). It seems the example xlsx file doesn't exist. This should probably be updated to pull from a more reliable source. Why not just included an example xlsx file in this repo and use that?

require 'creek'
remote_url = 'http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/tmp/test.xlsx'
Creek::Book.new remote_url, remote: true

Raises 

...gems/ruby-2.4.1/gems/rubyzip-1.2.3/lib/zip/central_directory.rb:143:in `get_e_o_c_d': Zip end of central directory signature not found (Zip::Error)

The remote URL parsing will be deprecated very soon.
