The URL contains the public key needed to decrypt the file. Make a copy of it and then store it somewhere safe, because it won't be stored anywhere else by default and having the URL is the only way to retrieve your file.

In a typical Tahoe-LAFS new data storage servers are automatically discovered via an introducer node, but that creates a single centralised point of failure. The installation on Freedombone has no introducer node and so details for the servers of your friends need to be entered manually.
