[P2P] File Sharing Questions ...
- Do you use any P2P file sharing programs?
- Which?
- Thoughts?
- Recommendations?
I have Proxmox installed on a small computer that has a container running Docker running Gluetun and qBittorrent.
One feature I like about qBittorrent though is the ability to bind to an interface.
I was thinking of setting up a dedicated box to serve my files on all the P2P networks I could find. I don't even know if some of them are active any more.
I do know that edonkey still has some peers. WinMX became DarkMX and has a few dedicated peers. Other than that, IDK. What about Limewire, Phex, or gnutella in general? Does anyone still use these old nets?
I guess it depends if you mean between your own devices or with other people on a large scale.
For sharing some one off files between my own devices I use Local Send. It is across all major platforms like Linux, Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS.
DarkMX is old-school and very retro:
https://darkmx.app/It also has a debian package downloadable from the site. One can run it in a container and forget about it.
Last week I used transmission-GTK to download a Linux ISO. I occasionally use LibreTorrent on Android, but only when I need to grab something away from the Desktop machine.
