I've got another one on topic of self-hosted file sharing: - FileBrowser running in Docker (https://filebrowser.org/features) - Syncthing running in another container (https://syncthing.net/) Syncthing keeps the files on your PC, Mac, BSD systems updated, and FileBrowser can point to the share and supply a convenient web UI. It works for me, it's kind of like a local Dropbox-lite. - Source: Hacker News / 11 days ago

So, what's the client you should use? There are many. For Windows/MacOS/Linux, maybe qBitTorrent? For Android, there's Flud, LibreTorrent, etc. If on iOS/iPhone/iPad, there's no app because Apple doesn't allow it (lol..), but you can use a "web client" like https://instant.io/ which behaves like the program/app. You'll need to keep the window open while it downloads and in this website's case, it doesn't accept...
