How frequently do you validate that they are still functional?

I tried File Pizza several months ago, and neither I nor the recipient could get it to work.

Links are checked at least once daily - I do have a few that are recently broken that I need to address - but File.pizza is okay again. I have switched the main link to Wormhole, because it's now my preferred option - and because File.pizza has been up and down for me in the past as well.

The website is up - the actual transfer service no longer seems to function in modern browsers. Have you (or anyone) had a successful transfer via File Pizza recently?

Just tried with a tiny file, it tries to work, as I can see the filename/size on the receiver end. But, it never downloads. It does say "Peers: 0, Up: 0, Down: 0".

Ok - I see. I suppose I will need to find a way to verify some of these links a bit deeper. Thank you for doing the footwork on this!

I swear I've tried it several times over several years. I've never gotten it to work.
