Hello,

I’m trying to send something to my gf’s friend (~50gb)

I tried creating my own torrent and was able to dl it on another device, but on her machine it stayed at 0% and wouldn’t let me connect to seed

Is FTP a good option? I set up a proxmox server last night but I don’t really know what I’m doing yet

Any guidance greatly appreciated, thanks.

    I’ve never heard of Wormhole before now but by the looks of things:

    • croc is open source
    • croc does not store files on the server at all, ever – it waits for both ends of the connection to be open to start the transfer
    • croc cannot do true P2P – the sender uploads to the croc server which then streams it in realtime to the receiver
    • croc does not work in the browser :(

    for a true browser based p2p solution that uses WebRTC I’d suggest www.sharedrop.io
