VFR "picking his way thru" heavy cells with XM Radio weather

For education purposes, though, I thought it might be beneficial to
retrieve and edit the archive files into a short clip (and also removing
the majority of the tail ID so the resulting clip cannot be used against
the pilot) with the relevant content. When I have the clip, I will post it
to a file sharing site and the link to this thread.

Here's the clip. I uploaded it to a free file hosting site and then attempted
to copy the direct download link, bypassing the annoying
wait-30-seconds-to-read-the-ads page. If the download doesn't work, let me
know and I will upload it to a different location:

I have edited the clip by removing non-essential communications and removing
dead air. The clip is about 3.1 Mb and approx. 4 minutes long.

OK, disregard that link. I don't want to put you through the 30 second wait
time to read all the ads. Instead I resurrected my web space that used to
house my website. For the time being it is my free file host. Here's the
file:

I really need to put up some flying pages. That would be a good use of the
site.

This link doesn't work for me.

Unfortunately, they're ahead of you. They're checking referrers (or a
similar technique) so the direct links won't work; this gets their ad
impressions up and keeps their bandwidth bill down. Somebody else tried
to post a direct link to files-upload.com here recently and it didn't
work - you need to find and post the link to the "wait for ads" page.

The link that didn't work was similar to the one you posted:

http://downloadX-Y.files-upload.com/...e-filename.ext

The link that does work will look something like this:

http://files-upload.com/files/NNNNNN/the-filename.ext

If the download doesn't work, let me know and I will upload it to a
different location:

Most every ISP gives you a few megs of personal Web space and that works
well for things like this. You could also post it to
alt.binaries.multimedia.aviation , but in these latter days, most people
won't know how to retrieve it from there.

Yep, it was a long shot. If you hadn't seen my other post, I put the clip to
some webspace I had in my back pocket but hadn't used in years.
