How can I send 50gb+ file over internet to friend? (links.hackliberty.org)

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.

Btw: Might be that you're behind a NAT (router) and that's why bittorrent doesn't connect. You'd need to figure out which port your torrent client is configured to listen on and then do "port forwarding" of that port to your machine in the router you got from your ISP. Or use something like UPnP that does this automatically.

Not sure if that applies in your case and it's unsolicited advice... But a fairly common issue with bittorrent.
