Also, hasn't been said yet, but when a file name with a space is uploaded to the net, the url will replace spaces with "%20" (for technical reasons), making the URL looking bad

(but still not mandatory to replace spaces by underscodes)

Example: http://example.com/the%20file%2042.png vs http://example.com/the_file_42.png
