Wormhole.app VS Instant.io

For file transfers over the internet, https://wormhole.app/ and https://toffeeshare.com/ are often suggested. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

Isn’t https://wormhole.app/ the solution here? Note I haven’t used it, it’s just often brought up here as a good solution for this class of problem. Is it surprising that the author mentions a ton of solutions but not this one? - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

One of the two creators of https://wormhole.app here :) Now that we’ve shifted our company’s focus to https://socket.dev, I’d love to open source Wormhole.

The next weak point is the centralization around the tracker. You can solve this by sharing all the tracker information on Nostr [2], maybe? 1. https://instant.io. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

Option #2 https://instant.io/ (unlimited size - uses WebTorrent). Source: over 1 year 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...
