Faster UDP file transfers using tsunami

I recently had to move about 3TB of video footage between residential gigabit fiber connections. The fastest speed I could get was around ~150Mbps through Dropbox and other cloud providers, so I opted for a more direct answer.

After using Resilio Sync to buffer the files onto an Ubuntu Virtual Machine, I installed Tsunami. Using this I was able to get 600Mbps with no tuning, between a server in Los Angeles to my residential connection in Pittsburgh.

What it does:

  • Very fast file transfers because it's UDP based

What it does not:

  • Support the ability to transfer more than one file [1]
