    In the past I used other P2P sharing, the German O&O File Direct, very similar to this. Worked fine but sadly only freeware and only for Windows. This system is obviously the best way to share files, the only disadvantage is that the sender’s PC must be turned on and online, so that the recipient can download the file, but on the other hand it also gives full control over the downloads, which because of this they can be interrupted at any time, simply by going offline. Currently I use Wormhole

      Wormhole is basically what the system from the video is, just a different UI. They may even be compatible with each other.

            No, it’s basically a CLI-based protocol, but I suppose someone might be able to build a web version by converting the source (Python) to WASM, which seems to be a work-in-progress.

        Maybe, I think that most of the P2P sharings are working in a similar way. I use Wormhole, because it works not only as app, also online (online version is only slightly more limited in maximum file size, but 10Gb is more than enough), so I don’t need to install it and can use it right from the browser.

            As a desktop app, Wormhole also don’t has a limit, it’s only limited if you use the online service. But I think that 10Gb is more than enough for the most use.
