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

I also tried testing some of the browser ones. Web Wormhole and very few others were the only ones which start downloading the file immediately (to the file system, your browser will show a file being downloaded) and I think these shouldn't crash on very large files (multi GBs). Most other tools download the file in browser (memory? cache?), and only when the download is complete, it's saved as a file.

Hello! I developed p2party.com which creates WebRTC rooms and does file transfers in the browser. You can find the relevant source code at github.com/p2party/p2party-js

Hi, this has been hard to use. I don't understand the UI. I opened two tabs in same browser, also in different browsers using same url. I couldn't see a connection between two peers. Kept saying waiting for peers.

Which ones do streaming of files in your testing beside web wormhole?

Which of the newer ones have all of you found to be easier to use?

It needs two browsers to create a connection because I store some user identifiable info in localstorage and if you use two tabs in the same browser it will be like trying to create p2p session with one peer.
If however you were not able to connect with two browsers then it would be very helpful if you can send me a screenshot of your console in the browser dev tools in a PM if you like.

The streaming part cannot happen in p2party's case because of the crypto algorithm that I use which splits the file into chunks. The chunks are also sent in random order so it cannot create a stream.
