On occasion I find myself needing to send a file at least a few gigabytes in size to a friend across our slow ISPs but haven’t found a satisfying solution. I usually end up creating a private torrent with the announce address of my own IP. Even though it’s slow - it basically never reaches my max upload speed for some reason, it is at least resilient if there are ever any network glitches.
Does anyone else face this same challenge?
EDIT: Thank you for the awesome suggestions! I have some homework to do on these
You can use syncthing to transfer files across the internet? How? I thought it was only for local networks
It just works, there’s no “how”. Take one of the devices outside, connect to the internet, done.
By default out of the box it will transfer over the internet if it needs to.
