While I've yet to do it, I've heard of many people using it for peer to peer file transfer. I tend to transfer files between devices pretty often and have never found a perfect solution. I'd like to do the same soon enough once I figure out exactly how to do it.
- pessimizer 5y agoCreate a torrent for what you're trying to share, add a few open tracker announce urls[1] to it, then load it in you client. Then, anyone else who has a torrent client can download it with a magnet link[2]. One caveat is that either your client and router both have to support UPnP, or you have to manually open up a port for UDP traffic in your router and forward that to the machine you're running the client on. I also use transmission-create to make torrents from the cli, but the UI of your client will have an option. I use magnets to transfer all large files - although if there's anything confidential in the file, encrypt it first. The only thing keeping people from plucking your files out of the ether is a lack of interest. ----- [1] Such as https://newtrackon.com/list https://newtrackon.com/list [2] Which are magnet:?xt=urn:btih:[insert torrent hash here] Torrent hashes can be found in the UI of your client, or at the beginning of the actual .torrent file.
