Hi everyone, 

I'm Dax, you've probably seen me in the discord or forum! 

The Grant Support Squad asked me to write up an introduction about myself after asking me to join the <XXXX>, so I hope this
will give you an idea about me and what I'm hoping to help with in the coming months. 

Professional Background

I'm currently a backend developer at a startup and working on side projects such as DCL-metrics, a DAO funded analytics

Assets

Most of the assets were created by Vex or myself. Some assets are from the decentraland builder asset packs.

The following are opensource assets from outside decentraland:

disclaimer: the URL used is just an example. I've picked the first from /r/opendirectories that worked good enough
Not sure if this post is ok, but I figured I'd share some tips for mass-downloading things from directories.
I've used this for dirs with lots and lots of say, mp3 files. It's easily customized, and better yet, fast!
If the server in question uses apache (which thankfully most do), retrieving a textual representation of the URLs that is stored in a local file is usually the first step one should do. That way the index doesn't have to be re-downloaded all the time, thus hugely improving speed.
I found lynx does the best job at this, because lynx comes with a feature that transforms the HTML tree into a textual representation:
lynx -dump http://ls.df.vc/pictures/ > listing.txt
results in this (for example):
Index of /pictures/
