The initial IPFS upload can be found under this CID (hash): QmbJgZUQn9rDyeCsxQn9u5s7KgJKQEwvWCKT7XhHXRkBTm

Please pin this IPFS object to "seed" it, as to help keep it alive. If you don't yet have an IPFS client,
grab the official client from https://ipfs.io/

To pin it, go to the Files tab on the IPFS desktop client, click "+ Import", copy and paste the CID (starting with a Q) that you see in your URL bar,
you may need to prefix it with '/ipfs/' (e.g. /ipfs/QmbJgZUQn9rDyeCsxQn9u5s7KgJKQEwvWCKT7XhHXRkBTm), and then click the "Import" button.

Once you see the CID in your list of files, click on the 3 dots to the right of the file listing, select "Pinning", and make sure "Local Node" is ticked,
then hit "Apply". This will download the entire IPFS object to your IPFS client, and seed it similar to a torrent.

You can also pin the object using the command line (on Windows, open Command Prompt - on Mac/Linux open any Terminal app), and type the following:

    # If you're viewing this README on the web, then please replace 'QmbJgZUQn9rDyeCsxQn9u5s7KgJKQEwvWCKT7XhHXRkBTm'
    # with the CID that's in your URL bar, so that you pin the latest version.
    #
    # You may also pin the original base IPFS object by running the exact command below. By pinning the original,
    # you'll help users who only have the original IPFS link by seeding the metadata for it. If you haven't yet
    # pinned the latest version, then you'll still be helping users who download the latest version, as most/all of the MSDOS
    # 7z files are the same between the original and latest version - only the meta files usually change, such as the README,
    # MD5SUMs/IPFS.txt, and similar things.
    #
    # If you pin the original, it shouldn't consume much extra space if you've also pinned the latest version, since all of
    # the actual data should already exist in the latest version you pinned, and it will share the datablocks with the
    # latest version for space efficiency.
