I just had a revolutionary idea: so, let's say you've got a large file you want to share with multiple friends, but uploading it to a cloud host would take too long because you live in the fucking united states and comcast owns your soul (based on a true story)
so, the solution: a torrent client with the ui of a dead simple filesharing app! imagine file.pizza but it works and isn't web based in any way. I've tried to get friends to use stuff like picotorrent, but it's still a hassle. I'd like to make something that's as easy as open the .whatever file (torrent file with different extension) and it'll start downloading and sharing between every friend. would both include a simple tracker that's automatically added to created files or you could provide your own trackers
FilePizza - Your files, delivered.

Peer-to-peer file transfers in your web browser.

@[email protected] this is nice but wouldn't port forwarding be an issue? i suppose you'd have to prioritize ipv6 and UPnP port forwarding
@kayden port forwarding would only be an issue for a few people, but they'd still be able to download files regardless and I'd be happy with that. I've been able to teach a few friends how to port forward though so there would be more than 1 data source at all times
@phoenix @kayden if you have comcast and rent a modem/router from them you're fucked though

LAND OF THE FREE
@freon @kayden friend of mine has an x1 with all the newest security bullshit enabled that blocks half of all incoming foreign ips and he can still torrent
@phoenix @kayden routers are no longer configured from your gateway, you instead have to download a phone app called "xfi" and log into your comcast account and find the purposely-very-hidden port forwarding settings that error out when you try to use them and when you finally reach somebody in customer service that understands a word of what you're saying you get some vague non-answer
@[email protected] @[email protected] thats bullshit wtf

there isnt some way to get to the router settings from your own network??
@kayden @phoenix the old router settings page is just a placeholder now.
