## What Jamie wrote

IPFS is a very interesting and capable system to store data, but it really needs better tooling so I was curious when I saw this. It is a command line tool, so still not real user friendly, but it is a step in the right direction. You could easily put a list of Content IDs in a file and use this with a script to retrieve it all.
