Ask HN: What is your favorite method of sending large files?
Bittorrent. No, really. Lots of nice behaviors when transferring large amounts of data between arbitrary endpoints.Transferring the torrent metadata is pretty trivial and can be done via a wide range of methods, and having that flexibility can be nice.Unlike HTTP, you get reasonable retry behavior on network hiccups. 
Also, more robust data integrity guarantees, though a manual hash test is probably a good idea either way.At least among people I'm throwing TBs of data around with, torrent infra is common and it's nice to not have to deal with some special-purpose tool that, in practice, is probably a pain in the ass to get compatible versions deployed across a range of OSes. Basically every platform known to man can run a torrent client of some sort.And obviously, no dependency on an intermediary. This is good if you're trying to avoid Google et al. That does, however, bring a potential con: if my side is fast and your side is slow, I'm seeing until you're done. If I'm uploading something to gdrive or whatever, I can disconnect one r the upload is done. If you control an intermediary like a seedbox, that's less of a problem.In general, though, torrents are pretty great for this sort of thing. Just encrypt your stuff beforehand.
