Thanks Archer,
this file sending service is part of https://framasoft.org/en/ a
non-profit organization promoting the use of libre/open source software
over monopolistic commercial solutions and I think they are promoting
their services in the current crisis by prefixing their url with the
above term. As sending large binary attachments over mailing lists
should be avoided I am using this service to share the two audio files 
with you. Interesting this fails. Could you tell me what step fails?
This would help me a lot. Perhaps the URL was line wrapped by accident?
Here they are again.

Of course I forgot to tell you that this is on the command line.

Good to know! 

I will reply to your other email separately.
Thanks!
