Links/URLs can't have spaces in them. (As well as many other characters like ' and " etc) The filenames can, but they are replaced by "%20" in the URL.
You can get rid of spaces from the filename to avoid "ugly" URLs (unless you like the look of %20s), or just make sure of the above on your own. Normally, if you "copy link" from your browser, it should automatically do this substitution/encoding.
I don't think closet-romanticism is a pattern ... it's like being a closet-aristocrat or closet-demigod ... we know we're not now, but if given the opportunity, we would jump at it :D.

Well, how do you define romanticism? If you define it positively, as being happy and adored, then it is simply self-interested behavior, which isn't a "fed (memetic) pattern" (meme is just a chunk of evolving culture, just as a gene is a chunk of evolving DNA), but rather a genetic imperative of our sophisticated brains. If you define it negatively, as self-sacrificing unreciprocated infatuation, then things get complicated -- the cost-benefit analysis is more complicated. I would argue that if the costs outweigh the benefits, then cultural (memetic) patterning is at work -- and in opposition to biological (genetic) patterning. The memes of religion, for example, are notorious for being self-destructive. (Think Fundamentalist Islam, or the persecution of Galileo.) The meme of admiration for aristocracy and demigodness and adoration on the other hand, are quite self-promoting.

(Unless you consider opportunism a pattern.)
