(Updated the list based on comments. Only keeping p2p tools)

Hey, I just found out about your list because sadly, sharedrop.io seems that was taken over by LimeWire, it looks incredibly suspicious now, they even removed an issue regarding this (it was https://github.com/ShareDropio/sharedrop/issues/180). Any particular one you recommend the most?

@etra0 I guess one of its forks should be used now.

welp, snapdrop got also acquired by LimeWire, what a disaster.

https://send-anywhere.com/ is the fastest for my testing so far... 300Mbps.
With or without a VPN tunnel too.

@etra0 shite.. we are left with https://pairdrop.net/ then :|

@etra0 @SMUsamaShah so pairdrop and sharedrop are gone.. what about quickdrop?

@sastromo no, pairdrop is still looking OK. No?

• https://github.com/holepunchto/pear
• https://keet.io/ (build on pear)
• And whatever else https://holepunch.to/ are working on

https://galene.org includes peer-to-peer file transfer. The web client is built-in, but there's also a command-line tool at https://github.com/jech/galene-file-transfer

What about LAN chat and file transfer tools like Feem (https://feem.io) ?

Feem also works with your remote devices when paired with Tailscale.

You can add my personal version: https://filepush.kevincox.ca/

It is direct peer-to-peer using WebRTC. It is different from the others as it is optimizes repeated sharing between your own devices. So you pair the devices once, then you can share with a single click.

It is open source: https://gitlab.com/kevincox/filepush

• todo: Update list from this HN thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43342361 and new comments here

p2pcp https://github.com/gdlol/p2pcp, a fork of pcp with hole punching, a different security model, and various minor improvements.

Can any of these tools resume partial transfers? I'm trying to transfer large files over a not-100%-reliable network, and none of the ones I've tried so far could resume a failed connection. Some couldn't even detect that the transfer failed.

@pdewacht Hypercore and company offer a sparse mode.

@mixlette your comments seems like spam (or LLM generated). The thing you linked doesnt have anything to do with p2p file sharing.

@SMUsamaShah Hypercore (you might remember it for its dat or Beaker) days changed branding making it hard to keep up. For instance https://keet.io/ is another one of its incarnation. It's all p2p precursor from the ground up. English isn't my first language, but neither is binary :-)

@mixlette Apologies. I looked at Hypercore and the first thing it said was being about logging and nothing about file sharing over p2p.

Do you still need to test very large files? If so, I can do the tests.

@rishik-1023 I never got back to sitting and actually testing. If you can test and post here your findings, I'll update the list with your results.

So far Web wormhole, Toffee share, And file pizza works for a 10gb

Hey, I'm going to build a similar P2P application, but I'm confused about which database to choose.
Do you have any suggestions for me?

Hi @SMUsamaShah 👋,

I've developed a new solution built on top of the Salesforce platform, offering seamless integration and robust capabilities.
