Why didn’t torrenting become the go-to file transfer method and a must-have for every computer?
probably because there's not way to police who connects to your computer in a built in way for novice users. BT just opens up your computer to anyone who wants to connect, to the seed of course.
Also, more people care about streaming on demand than file ownership/transfer these days, but content creators want guaranteed content delivery via a CDN, I assume out of some kind of sales pitch these companies do. Compared to maybe some uptime on BT, its a hard sell and I doubt BT pushers are salesmen anyways.
I like file.pizza for the off-moments I need to send a file immediately to someone.
Its essentially just a peer-to-peer tunnel so once you close the website it stops transferring the file
So .pizza is a valid TLD, huh
Blocked for me 😔. Imagine that's a barrier for others too then. Must have made it's way into a blacklist somehow
Not going to mention wetransfer? Been around for many years and always works well. My favorite
I like Send. It is FOSS and anyone can send host an instance.
