I thought it would be nice to have a separate thread where members could post their file links. This way we can test uploading and downloading without polluting the testnet thread too much .
So if you want to share some pictures or music or other stuff you like, post it down here!
Some instructions for the not so technically gifted people like myself:
Upload a file
$ safe files put ./to-upload/ --recursive
where ./to-upload/ is a folder where you put the file in you want to upload
Download a file
$ safe cat ‘put link here’ > ~/ ‘put file name here’
Yes, it was wrong url. But correct URL throws errors for me

Hmmm, weird… Maybe a bug… Or maybe only I have access to the file container?
I generated the xorurl from the original file with safe xorurl space_nasa.webm now, and it was different. I updated my post so you can try now if you want.
Hah, I read the file it outputted as a text file and it contains this:

So it has the real xorurl to the actual file right there.
EDIT: I test downloaded the video from the network and it works for me.
It’s still downloading for me too, but my net monitor says 2MB/s at least!
EDIT: I see ‘safe cat’ is starting to chew up my CPU for the by 60mb file too (safe cat safe://hy8ayqyeyq3efa1p4dg8yi37q1rkagfbuiwobjc7u9fje18seoos5d696jh). I think something isn’t right there
