You can use the 'filestore' program that comes in the devel directory.
However, it stripes large files across all the nodes in the network.
It outputs a single Chord key that encapsulates the keys of all the
constituent blocks.

You would expect that typically it takes lg(N) hops for a lookup.
You can actually perform a lookup by using the 'findroute' command,
also in the devel directory.
