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.

    Could send it over ATP - Avian Transfer Protocol.

    Does require a USB stick and for your friend to train a pigeon though.

      Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of hard drives speeding down the highway.

        This makes me wonder, what is the difference in the environmental cost of uploading/downloading this data vs. shipping a USB.

        I would guess that shipping emissions would be higher than digital ones, but I don’t have any basis for that theory. (I’m just curious, not trying to say or imply anything here)
