I would use Resilio Sync. It uses bittorrent under the hood. https://www.resilio.com/individuals/
Why not just make it a torrent file then and let it seed? I don't see why paying for a service is required in this instance.
1 - Its not paid for personal use.
2 - OP said it can't seed. Resilio have a discover helper service fot this situations.
Because he’s having trouble getting it to connect that way, and for reasons I don’t completely understand, Resilio Sync connections seem to be quicker and more reliable than using a traditional tracker as the only seed.
Resilio runs a "relay" server to facilitate connections where neither peer has properly set up port forwarding. Only downside of Resilio is its not open source, so you just kinda have to take their privacy policy at face value. As long as op isn't sending something super sensitive though, it probably is no big deal.
Thanks! It’s nice to finally understand why it’s so snappy.
Interesting thx
