• Ask HN: Best modern file transfer/synchronization protocol?

  Seconding rsync and syncthing. The server could expose an smb or nfs share, the client could mount it, and then sync to that mount. Rsync over ssh also works, if you do not want to run smb/nfs. This is also a cool tool https://rclone.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Which synchronization tool are you using together with the pCloud Crypto Folder?

  Rclone provides a special pCloud config option, which makes the setup straight forward. Rclone can encrypt the data it uploads with its own encryption but not with the pCloud encryption. Therefore it can only upload data to the unencrypted pCloud folders, not to the Crypto Folder. Source: 5 months ago

• Bypass download limits?

  For sites with limited download speeds I usually use aria2 (via terminal) since it supports segmented/multi connection downloading. But I guess this wouldn't work with 1fichier, since with these sites you usually don't get direct link to the file and/or sites like these limit the number of parallel connections. I also used it for torrents for a while, but I wouldn't recommend doing this anymore. Source: 5 months ago

• What actually gets you in trouble with torrenting? Downloading or seeding?

  You could try a tool like https://aria2.github.io. Source: about 1 year ago

• What is the best and fast way to move 30 TB of data from one site to another side a few block down the street?

  A simple example of parallel transfers of a single file are Byte-range: HTTP requests. An example of one off-the-shelf tool that does this is aria2, but there are many libraries, and it's not difficult to write code from scratch. Source: about 1 year ago

• How to download and store 900 3 hour videos in a month?

  Like others here, I also recommend using https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp to download the videos. Pair it with https://aria2.github.io/ as an external downloader to get the max speed download. Source: about 1 year ago

• Video downloader

  I've used "aria2" download application CLI which was good / useful e.g. https://aria2.github.io/ (not sure that's even the right official site), And it LOOKS like there may be some web add on extension someone wrote to use it from firefox, but I've zero experience with browser integration of it.
