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

    Whoever uploaded them has to send you a link to them. It does have a limit of 10gb, but it’s pretty reliable in my experience.

      Ahh, I see. I’ve got a wormhole app on my phone which I was trying to use to send from. I guess it just can’t work with that website. Thanks
