Is there any government on earth owning a website that:

-is used by tens/hundreds of millions of people every day to share and view large files

-have an usable UI

-doesn't go down 3 times a week

?



I'll suggest USPS.com

USPS is an independent agency of the U.S. federal government. They have around 13M visits per day [1]. Their website looks modern although I'm uncertain about their uptime.

and 90% of those visits are probably a GET request with a tracking number


Depends what you consider to be large files, and admittedly its not a free for all upload, but gov.uk probably fulfils most of those requirements.


well a simple video on social media can be 100s of MB or even more than a GB, without even thinking about livestream
