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?

    I use wormhole, but when I’ve wanted to use that website for receiving, I can never tell how to do it.

    Can you actually use that site to receive files?

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