Help Needed: Transferring Content to Oracle Cloud VPS (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hey,

I'm looking for suggestions on how to efficiently transfer content to my Oracle Cloud VPS.

What I've Tried:

Telegram Bot: I set up a Telegram bot that saves files locally on the server.

Pros: Easy to use, quick access to files from Telegram.

Cons: Limited to what's available on Telegram, and uploading is slow and impractical.

aria2c: I attempted to use aria2c but couldn't get it to work properly. Is it possible that Oracle Cloud is blocking P2P communication like torrents?

What I Need:

A more convenient method to transfer content to my VPS. I haven't been able to get torrents to work, so any alternative solutions would be appreciated. Additionally, if you know of any direct download sites for content like movies and shows that don't use P2P, that would be helpful.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: while there are plenty of ways to get stuff from my computer to the VPS (and I'll try some of them), I thought to get things directly to the VPS. it has fast and stable internet connection, unlike my laptop.

I don't quite understand the use case. Where are you trying to transfer from? PC? Smartphone (what kind?)? From devices you don't control?

I use rsync to transfer from, PC, Android and other servers. It works well for my use case.

let's say I have found a new show I wanna watch, and host in my Jellyfin server. Let's say I found a good magnet link. I don't have it anywhere yet, so I'd prefer to download it directly to the server.

and not to my computer and then send to the server.

My torrent client is transmission. It has many ways to do what you ask.

First there's a web ui which I can access from my pc or mobile. I can input the magnet link there and download.

Transmission also has an RPC client, and because of that many third party clients exist for it. Android apps, CLIs, etc. For all of which, i paste the magnet link and download.

EDIT: I believe Oracle cloud has something against P2P downloads, but I don't remember what exactly.

yeah and other people here warned me about that so ig I'll drop that idea.

For that use case, there's two things you can do:

Rent a seedbox
Have a local server for downloading torrents, and use a vpn
